Life has passed
nothing to show
spending last days
vegetative state
In early years
should have stayed late
made people laugh
changed my fate
now my dear
It’s too late

Isn’t it the truth? Life goes by so quickly and then it’s too late. Nice poem!

A lot of the elderly regret not taking more risks when they were younger. I think I will learn from them.

If you please, here’s an extract from my chapbook, “Selected Snippets”…
Driftwood
Tattered and torn, tossed about by whipping wind
Landing in a watery grave of stream, River, ocean
I have drifted long upon the ripples, currents, breakers
Only to wash ashore on sand as black as that night…
The waters have whitewashed me; the sun dried me
As I lay subjected to changing climatic elements
Certain to fossilize or simply cease to be-
Cease to be, that is, in the eye of the beholder…
Surly, an offshoot of decaying root will revive my essence
Be it reaching for the sun, or dancing in the whipping winds!
