Mr. and Mrs. Hastings

Another trip begun
Unseen change finds you
Immersed and engaged.
Surmounted things rush by you.
No longer is it “I am running:
Everything else is standing still”.
You feel the movement of things around you
Barely counting their passing
They come and go.
Let the whirlwinds take them
While you move
Patiently, deliberately,
Together having begun
The journey to eternity.
