Life can change on a dime
You never know why yours will shift into a downward spiral
It is wise to bare this in mind whenever poised to judge and castrate
The homeless,
The hungry,
The destitute
The lost,
The forsaken,
Those struggling with mental health illness
We all got issues
Everybody's got a story
Life is seldom what you see at first glance
Life changes on a dime
Everyday...
Someone is born,
Someone dies,
Someone laughs,
Someone cries,
Someone gains prosperity,
While others drown in poverty
Loses affluence,
It’s euphoric,
It’s inconsolable
It’s incarcerated,
It’s freed
It’s discovered,
It’s obscured
It’s predictable
It’s random
Its opportunity
It’s the now
Its life
Live in the now
Nothing is promised
Life, changes on a dime
It goes on regardless of woes
Never skipping a beat as time marches on
Days...come and go
The sun continues to glow
The moon continues to show
Not pausing for a moment
As lives fall apart
Here today,
Gone tomorrow
No time to sit and wallow in sorrow
Live every moment
Don’t live in torment
Nothing is promised
Nothing is guaranteed
Soak up love and laughter like wild weed
Life, it changes on a dime
It’s wonderfully sublime
Seemingly perilously illogical in its continuum
As it marches with us, without us, on us, through us, beyond us
Cherish each moment as it carries us on its momentum
Even the ones you complain are insane
Learn to smile again and again
A remedy that’ll get us through the strain
Of its continual transformations
When we much prefer to stand still

I know exactly what you mean. It was a gorgeous, sunny day today and they're telling us to stock up on supplies because Tropical Storm Flossie is headed our way.
ReplyDeletehmmmmm...truth is we really don't know what's around the corner for us so it prudent that we all learn to live and love each day.
DeleteWow, so true. its so easy to get caught up in all the negatives in life and forget to appreciate the numerous positives.

Absolutely....we must not allow ourselves to get trapped in the negative no matter how challenging that represent.
DeleteThis is beautiful. Do you do spoken word poetry?
ReplyDeleteYou know @iola, though i know of spoken word, have listened and enjoyed some of it I have never done it or seen it live. I have a friend who invited me after reading some of my work. Perhaps i should give it a go on one of those open mic, amateur night.
