Races Have Been Run

move on down the highway

git along little doggy

sing a song
into hurricane winds
shake your fist
at a sob

you have reasons to believe
your races have been run
regrets . . .
but of course

Jerry,
I think many if not all of us have regrets, things we wish we had done differently are not at all. Thought provoking write~!

Blessings,

I appreciate the temperament contrast between the first two lines and the subsequent four. Powerful juxtaposition in so placing them. Strong piece of poetry. ~~ DIana

And yet, the fact that this wordsmithing of an observation exists subliminally purports that the highway is endless. Like the life it metaphorically portrays, there are side roads we occasionally take, but they too inevitably lead back to the main road. It takes some courage sometimes to get back in the fast lane. Congrats. Hold onto that rabbit's foot.

It is our regrets that give us strength to travel down those roads~(trials and tribulations can make us stronger)

You are so inspiring Jerry, many have run races won and lost, but in the end you still triumph! For if you do not enter the race you will never know... :)

Love this

Love and Light
