 The Poetry of Love

Epiphany


Facing what is my life
And what it used to be

Now I come to realize
My own mortality
I hope as I face the end
And soon eternity
My thoughts will touch
Other hearts with this epiphany
I was driven
yet rushed past life's beauty

I strove for material wealth
And forgot the most precious things cant be bought or sold

I was focused
Yet blind to the things that mattered the most

I was independent
And found myself alone

The things I will miss the most are the ones I appreciated the least
Hugs
Holding hands
A warm smile
A gentle touch in the night
The soft Wind blowing like a silk scarf though my fingers

As I ran through the day
In my frenzy to accomplish my goals
I rushed past the most beautiful joys
The things I saved for a special occasion
Things for "when the time is right"

And now the time is past …

If I could do it again I would
Take more chances
Have more fun
Sleep in
Watch more sunsets
Dance under the stars
Laugh harder
Love deeper
Breathe in LIFE
look around and feel
Gratitude for all life's beauty and the time to enjoy it.

I thought I had forever…..but time passes in a blink

And in striving for what I thought was important
I missed out on the what was most precious.

And throughout my blind pursuits – I failed to fully live.
