~Fast Tracking~

Living on the edge praying not to derail
becoming sad as glow fades, laughter
falls silent withdrawing your feelers

You might discover your error right away
but you could also ride under a mistaken
impression for years to come from just
a window seat

Shrinking any overextended existence
let the community go its own way
as you take care of endlessly switching 
rails to be sure that you arrive safely
at your next station from a slower pace

Own the view where you can stand
both your feet planted firmly on the 
ground having enough elevation
to feel as if you`re flying free styli'n
through mountains of granite

Wonderful imagery Lady Vivian....
as we forge our way through life on the fast track
it certainly can overextend us and as life goes we
learn to face it at a slower pace...

Love and Light

Isn't life just like that, pity we don't have a well informed pointsman to ease the journey. That image of us being pretty much passengers on the rail of life is not far from the truth. Well thought out piece.

Well thought through poem, Vivian,
with well chosen sustained image;
the second stanza is a beauty
