You Said Winter Slows You Down

for JW.

But your need for speed
will catch up to you.
The slow path would prove
to be a terrible beauty
but your fast paced feet
will land you flat on your face
when you don't stop to see
the rocks in the road.

Mmm..my first thought was, "the story of life". The fast paced lifestyle many subject themselves to. "...when you don't stop to see the rocks in the road"..brilliant. What I like about this poem is that the language is so simple but the meaning is so profound. I really like this. Great work!
