defying atrophy

there is not enough time

there is not enough time
left on this earth
to live
what hasn’t been lived
before now.

in catching up
on a life that was lost,
I’d miss the living
in front of my face.

and my time
so
so
precious
would surely be
wasted

times
two.

    I can relate to “catching up on a life that was lost.” Your conclusion is wise. Perhaps I needed to read that truth.

      I always write what I know I need to hear. Glad it resonates for you.
