Firstly
Moving around
in a used body now,
I recently found
it’s when, not how
that truly matters.
I’m just passing through,
occasionally feeling like new,
but usually in tatters.
All things ephemeral,
they come and they go,
it’s a good thing, in general,
to think this, to know
that if we would be happy,
to prosper, to thrive,
it’s best to be joyful
about being simply alive.
We all want to live
as long as we might,
to keep keeping on,
to fight the good fight,
wishing for second chances
to come up to bat,
but hope can’t stop the age game,
to a body run flat.
It’s all over too soon,
in a flash, in a blink,
and none of us has
as much time as we think.
In my case I pray,
I’ll be caring, more present,
before my final day,
attentive and pleasant
in the here and the now,
Thinking at the end,
now that was some wow.
