Speed.

Goldfinch60



They race down the road

On their steed made of steel,

Straight through their hair

The wind they do feel.

 

Going faster and faster

On the road from their past,

Flying further away

From that which had passed.

 

Into the future of their new life,

Speeding away on their mighty bike,

Going quickly to their wherever,

To their wherever, wherever they like.

    May I be that train looking forward to a future with a happy gaze.

    • Goldfinch60

      Of course you can, the future is a wonderful place.

      A fine write and clip Gold if only I wasn't in such a rush, dashing about on my steed in 1066. I may have taken time to think what to say to Harold, instead of 'Look up, Sire'.

      • Goldfinch60

        Thanks Orchi.

        And what steed was that, you always walked behind my whilst (there's a good word, whilst) I rode in glory with the King.

        Wasn't there a story they used to teach in school about the hare and the tortoise?

        • Goldfinch60

          Yes the tout Ouse always won, at the speed I travel I am hoping for the same. Thank you for your comments, much appreciated

            As life goes by we in time slow down and just look more than run along side. You'll keep moving fine though.

            • Goldfinch60

              Slow is far better as there is so much to see in life. Thank you Heartwriter,

              • Heartwriter

                Your welcome.

              • onepauly

                slow, is my way too.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Much more can be seen if going slow, life is there to be enjoyed in the slow lane.

                  • onepauly

                    absolutely.
