My Forest Is Not Deep, But It Is Green Poem by Chuy Amante

Speedily?
You spend half of your life
running into the forest
and then,
You spend half of your life
running out of the forest (slowly?)

Would you be running
differently now
if you knew the depth
of the forest?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My forest is but a green swath
as I enter it each day,
I already see the sunset at the
other edge

Therefore I run full speed ahead
like there is no tomorrow!

For there is no tomorrow
SPEED UP!
