Build up

brick upon brick
foundation being laid
moments are in hand
destiny being delayed
right now what matters
forget future pain
today is very wise
tomorrow so insane

Optimism

far in the distance, eyes search
no signs of lost love found
foolish heart, optimism abound
when last shred of hope
will be lost, it will die,
soul sighs,
sings to the terminal,
no cure illness,
last beat, stillness….
