Speed Demon

 

Life in the fast lane

driven on the white line,

not taking sides

on which side I right.

 

Top-notch speed

blurs the signs

so not to clutter the mind

with man made directions.

 

Taking the curves

is the ultimate rush

for if you crash and burn

you’ll die in a blaze of glory…

 

Allowing your soul

to rise from the ashes.

This was a very good piece with great images...a profound write...

Nice. It seems like one of those that you just banged out and it came out great. Kinda like written with lightening speed. At least I got that feel. Ending line is sweet!

[Lachenille Papillion]

lol, this tickles the senses. We can all relate to that moment of exhilaration...

I like this one Dale .. right now my mind is fuzzy.. taking medicine so i am a little drowsy.. it seems to me to be about taking the straight and narrow road or taking the rocky curvey road. Does seem somewhat spiritual.

This is an apt analogy for how some people choose to live their lives - in the fast lane. I'm more of a horse an buggy type person myself.

Live and have fun while your able. That's what your poem says to me. I love the sensation of fastness and speed in your poem, it created a sense of excitement which we all hope life gives. Nicely done.

The perfect description of speed from a spiritual point of view! How wonderful!

smart play on words, the rush of breaking the man made rules , the highs of racing and the ultimate rush - the body may want to run ahead while the soul rises....interesting :)

Awe, this is so creative! You have quite a way with words, you take them and redefine them! Lots of wisdom in this gem! Great work, friend!

:-) This sounds like a rush of adrenaline. Riding with wind through hair, not caring where you're going or where you'll end up, only caring about the feelings of invincibility (is that even a word ... ?) and the blood pumping through your veins ... of being alive in this ONE moment.

Nicely expressed.
