SPEED INGLORIOUS

SPEED INGLORIOUS

Above the days inescapable
Upon clouds of righteous endeavor
Days tumble to the timing of winged prayer
Where daydreams speed their way ingloriously
From coastline to stately precipices

Above these, the moments at jet speed
I find myself joined by thoughts
Of the miscalculated and misunderstood
Where daydreams speed their way ingloriously
Into the backstreets of being high above

In these, the moments so quickly windowed
So quickly ungrateful, so speedily fueled
So grossly profound, that time ceases its deception
And the ballet of movement continues
Its struggle to grow beyond the light

My mind begins to dance to that ballet unfettered
Far within the minds eye of speed
A silhouette of universal endeavor
Where only the brave dare to roll the dice
And perchance, find that they have safely arrived

Speed inglorious, the untethered notorious
Upon clouds of righteous endeavor
I turn into the curve, instead of out of it
And find that I have arrived in a stately fashion
Far before death and much sooner than royalties feathers...

My Dear Tony,

I race with speed inspired
By the dreams within my Soul
If I slip while I am running
I rise quickly, to be whole

.
When my path comes to a forked curve
I race faster than before
I yell "Veni, Vidi, Vici"
As I reach Nirvana's Door

Love,
Larry xxx

My Dear Tony,

Whenever I read one of your powerful writes, "the gloves are off", as it guides me to the "Twilight Zone".ย  I dig deeply for it's interpretation, and it is always such an honor, to learn that I have been successful.ย ย 
I love space travel with you.

Love you,
Larry xxx
