The Hurried Pace of Things

(Originally written for Blessings Beyond Bypass, a book by Rachel Allen, on 9/15/22)

Rushed

Moving fast

The hurried pace of things

Like a quickening

Some Thing

Some One

Some New Being

Moving about/

Faster now

Hustle more

The hurried pace of things

Like a hastening

All Things

All of Y’all

All of It

Accelerating/

Speed up

Roused up

The hurried pace of things

Like an Activation

All of Us

Only some of Us though

Only some of Us

Arriving/

Finally

We can rest/
