Godspeed
Here's a very short poem I wrote that was published in magazine years ago (2005). It's called Godspeed, and I've found that readers have reacted to it in different ways.
-Vince
Godspeed
Ride on my friend
Take thy steel horse and blast its heart
Consumed by ambition, a past marred by failure
A highway awaits that dissolves all memory
Align the stars with thine inexhaustible passion
Steer thy soul down an uncharted course
Ride on my friend
-Vince
Godspeed
Ride on my friend
Take thy steel horse and blast its heart
Consumed by ambition, a past marred by failure
A highway awaits that dissolves all memory
Align the stars with thine inexhaustible passion
Steer thy soul down an uncharted course
Ride on my friend

Hi Cecilia!I'm pleased you enjoyed it! :)
You're not far off the mark--it's about expections, dreams, and handling one's past.
Most of all, it's a message of redemption.
Thanks for letting me know what you were thinking about when you wrote it, Vince. That is really good!I truly like it and think I'll share it with my older son...the one in my picture on GR. He's going through a rough time now.
Thanks, again. I've always loved poetry...especially the ones that don't rhyme...:>

I really like this poem...so what did you have in mind when you wrote it?
What I actually thought of was a guitar player...of course, Led Zepplin was playing in the background...:> Then again...it could be about anything we are passionate about and attempt to achieve in our lives.
Good one, Vince!
