Celerity
The word of the day
…
Celerity
The word of the ages
…
Celerity
Is today’s word
…
With celerity
The unseen visitor makes
It’s calls on houses
Unsuspecting
Innocents
Rides in
Its waves
…
With celerity
The unseen visitor gulps
The breath of life slow
Unrelenting
Unforgiving
Administering pain
Steady
…
With celerity
It spreads
But the human soul
Refuses to succumb
…
With celerity
…
Another day brings
Anew sun
To burn the unseen
Into memory gone.
…
With celerity
We live
But it may be time
To slow and reflect
On the child within
The miracle that lives.
…
I hear celerity
Is out of fashion
In days
Anew.
