Dangerous Speeds

August 6, 2021August 5, 2021 ~ Raven

Form: Free Rhyme

Speeding down life's highway, pedal to the floor
Events blur in fusion, no time for more
Days melt into years right before your eyes
So much haste, no time for goodbyes

Slow down! Disaster lies ahead
Apply the brakes or you will wake up dead
Less haste now will not mean lack of bottle
The Reaper's travelling at full throttle

Stop rushing, take time to enjoy some love
'Tis better than being crushed in death's glove

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an on-going project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever growing love of poetry. View all posts by Raven

Yes indeed Jez … slow down or miss the love train in a world of pouring rain …

  Thank you, this particular raven is Raven Moon by Carol Calvaris, a beauty he is too. One of the few ravens i have name of the artist for. Most of the raven iconography I use has been sent to me by people who know my affinity with the bird
  
  love and light
