Acceleration

Movement
Almost imperceptible
Gradual, slow
Free from shock
Lulled
Into a false sense
Of security

Elasticated
To snapping point
Tensile strength
Insufficient
Overwhelmed

New winds
Force of hurricane
Cloud drift
Cloud change
Whirls
Of transformation

Storm
Fork of lightning
Brush, scrub
Blown through
Deserted streets

Emotions
Seized by moment
Clench of breast
Grasp of scrotum
Rage
Of incandescent light

Solid ground
Terra firma
Fall away
To marsh and bog

Question
The need to revisit
Question
The need to stay away

Venture forth
Onto plateau
Photographs shot
Long distance
Words written
In coded verse

Do not give
The game away
Up and down
And beat of heart
Here, there
And forever mystified

On the news
Three way split
On the form
Choice to make
Tittle-tat
And tittle-tat
Round and
Round the houses

Take some time
Hold it still
Learn
To persevere
Perseverance
On the page
Perseverance
With the life

Take steps
To unfold
Walk down
Country lane
Converse
With passers by

Explore
For it is all there is
Explore
All the rites
Of passage

Four score year
Or more
Make the bold
Or braver move
Settle
On not to settle

Take
The ragamuffin road
Take the road
Not yet travelled
