Were it possible to feel
Would I?
When the world spins so
Could I?
Whenever life whirs past
Should I?

Touch the pedal-brake
To slow the go
And should I interfere
Would I know

That I had sketched the face
Of sovereignty?

Excellent thoughts here.  Especially the ending.  We all do, do we not?

Interesting, dear Steaven. Yes you have the power to slow down and to choose a new awareness.

Profound.

Love,

Oh, I do know how your feel! In fact, a few years ago I posted a poem entitled "Stop! I Want to Get Off!"

Whenever we feel caught up in a whirlwind, it is important for us to ground ourselves, be still, go within, and think about the situation ~ whether it be self-imposed or otherwise.

Your poem offers fine food for thought!

I like this - and if some else tries to reign on your parade?  Buy an umbrella drink.  Yep, that should work.
