In response to dVerse Poets pub Quadrille #172 – SHIFT
Posted by Mish
To shift gears
increasing speed
accelerating
Past bright red lights
across stop sign lines
faster and faster
To the next adventure
you race ahead
leaving your last behind
To shift gears
momentum slowing
decelerating
Against the winds of time
life returns to normal
average
Gypsie’s Wonderful World of Words 
Nicely done quadrille.
