At The Edge

Left at the edge

Of a cliff, looking down.

I see the many yesterdays

That have flown bye.

 

Why do we wait

Till life is almost past,

To realize what has yet

To be done and accomplished?

 

Let the food of thought

Consume me into action.

Let me no longer be an observer

Who has a life of his own to share.

I THINK IT'S BECAUSE WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER WE DIDN'T REALIZE THE VALUE OF AN OPPORTUNITY...TO REACH OUT...BEYOND...OUR SAFETY ZONE. THANKS FOR THESE THOUGHT PROVOKING PHRASES, GEORGE. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH... JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Life should always be acted out at any age, it's just that as we grow older we become more sage and we walk instead of running. We get choosier, slower, but more appreciating of each step we take, I really enjoyed your poetry this morning dear George, have a blessed day, love xo

Your poem is why I wrote my autobiography so that anyone both now and in the future whom I wonder about my life can get it from the horse's mouth and not from some myth handed down about the poor cripple who made good?

You are doing what you love before it's too late. You're writing. And so am I.

Much thoughtful pondering went into this poem George. Makes one think of not letting life pass by too fast. Sometimes I wish I could slow down that train. Well done!
