"Unseemly haste / Drives on and on"


Poem Artwork

Of Higher Choice

We come we go
And all too fast
Before we know
Our time has passed
Unseemly haste
Drives on and on
Till life is waste
And we are gone

We come we go
But in the rush
Before we know
Forget the hush

Of higher choice

And all too fast
That inward voice
Of angels near
Is drowned and killed

Or is it we
Who fail to hear
And lose the light
Who once were free
But threw away
Our own birthright
To fully be
Ourselves today?

Unseemly haste
It seems somehow
Brings future past
And steals the now
As higher choice
Goes unchosen
Freedom frozen
Stifled and stilled

Unseemly haste
Drives on and on
Till life is waste
And we are gone

Steve, the question is this. Are we gone or have we simply moved on?
God Bless and Merry CHRISTmas!

Strong sentiments that certainly could be applied to a wide range of situations including todays current politic and warfare reality.
