Life

Life passes
all too quickly
you turn around
and it is gone.
Do you want to taste it?
Experience it?
How passionately and to what depths?
Most people don't
acknowledge all that is inside
easier to bury
painful emotions
guilty desires
because
life can be lived
entirely on the surface
no need to disturb
what lurks down below
so....
they sail right through
subconsciously hoping for something to happen
what?
some stimulation, some motivation...
to attain something different
to reach for
instead of sitting quietly
with their hands out
waiting,
so.......
I will taste it today
instead of tomorrow
for tomorrow might come
without me.
