Poem - Prelude and Fuge No. 5 in D, by Bach / The Racing Course of a Life

the racing
course of
a life

middle age
resisting
being spent
by the
trajectory
set by youth

eyes tear
but you
promise yourself
you are
not crying

explain
it is only
the light
in that certain
part of day

at the wheel
of a shiny
automobile

impeccable
power suit
italian tie

behind you
a gulf blacker
than the road

in front a
dizzying peak
where dreams
can all die

the white
you will have
must have

you know

Note: Don't forget to listen to Prelude and Fuge no. 5 in D by Bach, this was the music that inspired the poem.
