Godspeed

Godspeed isn’t lightspeed
It doesn't move all at once
It took 14 billion years 
to make you. But you can
bet your little bottom
Godspeed
knew you'd exist the moment
silence bloomed into a big bang.

Godspeed isn't fast
it's geological, glacial,
it's growth and process.
It's grandma sitting on
the porch, looking.
The world passing by.
Hour after hour,
day after day.
Godspeed 
notices the leaves change,
watches the grass grow.
