-- One Thing at a Time -- John Herlihy Our desires arrive randomly, One desire at a time. Our hopes arrive fortuitously, One hope at a time. Our thoughts arrive chaotically, One second at a time. Our destiny arrives deliberately, One minute at a time. Our moods arrive enigmatically, One hour at a time. Our mornings arrive faithfully, One dawn at a time. Our evenings arrive mysteriously, One twilight at a time. Our future arrives steadily, One day at a time. Our life arrives miraculously, One step at a time. Our death arrives suddenly, One breath for the last time. - - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Saturday 27 March 2021

I WAS GOING TO QUESTION THE LINE NEXT TO THE LAST, BUT THEN...I REASONED; EVEN THOUGH SOME DEATHS(DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES)ARE NOT SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED, STILL...NO ONE EVER KNOWS EXACTLY WHEN IT WILL ARRIVE TAKING AWAY OUR LAST BREATH. I LOVE THE STYLE AND THE INTERMITTENT LINES OF RHYME... GREAT SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Life, if well lived, is long enough. Your thoughts give clarity to the old axiom 'one day at a time'. Thanks for sharing. Peace.... rlc

How true. Time waits for none of us. Just this morning, I wondered why it was only Friday just two days ago? Time flies. Fruit flies get in my eyes. What's next? Sometimes death takes near dam forever to finish its job. I pity the poor souls who suffer that way like so many with COVID-19.

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

�The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
