I wanted to write a piece
a grand sweeping saga
enticing drawing you in
holding you fast
dripping words to make you
sit at the edge of your chair
in
anticipation
but then
I didn’t

I wanted to write a love song
one
to melt yes melt your heart
cause quickening of pulse
drops of sweat on brow
make you
want
me
but then
I didn’t

I wanted to write a fable
packed in wisdom
to carry through the ages
standing the test of time
with knowledge and power
remembered
for
all time
but then
I didn’t

because right now
all I can think about
this second is
that
life is friggin short
and you best be happy where you are
because
there are no guarantees for the next
friggin
breath
so all the rest of that stuff
is just going to have to wait
I’ll go down in history tomorrow
for now
I say
live it

What you DID write is a poem
with a wisdom and a built-in mantra. I salute you.

Josefina,
The words you pen this day are weighty indeed!
True lass, the next breath and wink of eye, are gift indeed! So, may we inhale in wisdom, then exhale in life lived. Good piece,.... strong, important,... things that need to be said! And yep, you did it in Josie signature style, distinct, and all your own. Oh! Didnt you know lass, fresh individual style, is a rare thing among mankind this day! Especialy when wonder, grace and depth accompany the same said pen, as in your case for sure! I applaud your talent depth and heart... I bow in retreat and thanks
Sincerely,
Rodney Evan Bohen
