Sestina of Life

   Posted by: T-bird    in General Writing, Poetry, Random Thoughts

With only one day left to live,

What would you do?

What would you say?

Where would you go?

Would you make it worth

An entire life’s time?

 

The thing about time

Is it seems that once you live

Through it, you have spent all it’s worth.

It seems no matter what you do,

You will have nowhere to go–

You will have no say.

 

Yet you have a say,

Death is not the end of time.

Death will lead you wherever you wish to go,

And let you live the life you want to live.

All you have to do,

Is live life for all it’s worth.

 

But if your life is worth,

Little more than what a dog might say,

What can you do?

What could you do with all the time

That eternity after death gives you to live.

Where would you go?

 

On the last day, you must go

And do something that will make life worth

A thousand lives which one can live,

A thousand words which one can say,

And you can use the rest of your time,

To do a thousand things which one can do.

 

For if you do

Something important the end will let you go

To a place where time

Has no worth,

You could even say

That after death, there is more for which to live.

 

So if you had one day to live, what would you do?

Would what you say and where you would go

Make your life and afterlife worth all of time?

Dark and Light

   Posted by: T-bird    in General Writing

Dark and light,
A constant battle,
Always strife.
Sometimes dark leads
Then light commences.
A vicious cycle
Without end.
Like a serpent
Always after its tail
Traversing the vast oceans,
it goes around.
Peace can never exist
So long as dark and light
Remain in their quarrel.
So long as neither
Shall prevail.

But I shall say,
For I hold faith,
One day the quarrel will end.
One day, the light will prevail.
One day, the dark will perish.
One day, good will reign.
But for today,
The battle commences.
Light against dark,
Dark against light,
Good against evil,
And evil against good.

THE SANDS OF TIME

   Posted by: admin    in Poetry

The sands of time where lovers once met

walking hand in hand

sharing hopes and dreams

of what their

future might bring

it is with this sense

I dig deeper into the coolness

of their strength, joining forces

with the spirits past

as you and I walk the same path

Our thoughts and feelings are

shared

as we too leave footprints

just like the others

who at one time pledged

their undying love for each other

by Margo
