Fast Car
By Louie John M. Salda
Scarlet-red rays of sunlight in the late afternoon,
driving the long concrete highway alone.
As I look around the sides of that long and twining road,
I remember the memories of the past that have been withered and
died.
Not looking at the speed, I am indeed driving a fast car,
minding only myself, driving like crazy, I’m reckless, I don’t
care.
As I go meter by meter, tears fall down from my eyes,
I don’t know why it’s happening to me, until I find myself lost
in space.
I ignore every momentum of silence,
continuously driving until I reach that certain place.
But it seems that destiny would not take me there,
Unless, I would lost sight of that place and reflect before
getting there.
I stop, I went out of the car and gaze into the night,
Feeling the cold breeze and holding my hands so tight.
I stare and look at the stars that shine so bright,
Feels like I’m one of them that gives others light.
What a wonderful way to realize that the memories of the past
had helped me,
In ways that sometimes my mortal heart and mind failed to
conceive.
It is indeed me, someone who keeps on battling the roads of
life,
Me as the real me who never ceases to appreciate and welcomes
challenges that brought by this so called life.
Like a fast car, I was not able to appreciate life before,
For I think it’s easy and for I have everything I asked for.
Suddenly destiny took its flight,
And life itself had taught me lessons and reasons to fight.
Thinking of my life before that defines the meaning of sadness
and melancholy,
I felt like giving up, but with faith and trust to myself,
I fully understand the
true meaning of bliss and harmony.
It is the true meaning of
life! Life,,, life,,, life,,,
I say hello now to the new me!
And now I will greet new mornings with confidence,
with good disposition, with brighter outlook and complacency.
It was indeed a long drive inside my car,
And I already reach that place from afar.
I promise not to drive that fast,
for its more relevant to be calm and steadfast.
Someday I will be in the place,
living in prosperity and peace.
I will now drive my way home with glee,
And I thank God for everything he gave me.
