Until

 

Do we rush through life because

we are looking for someone worth

slowing down for? -- I once

wrote to a friend who feared

no one would ever love him --

Walk a path, any path, long enough,

and eventually you will pass someone

wanting company along the way,

and when you do pass

remember to slow so they can

catch up with you.

 

He replied simply,

How long?

I think this is an example of one of your essay-poems that works, and works very well. It may take 2-3 readings to get the jist of it all but there's nothing wrong with a poem requiring multiple reads. The reply at the end adds a bit of humor to the piece as well: good for a quiet chuckle.

 

I like it, nicely done.

you can find that someone worth slowing down for.
