I think I mentioned that I had a pretty bad car accident in 1999 and a few years later started writing a bit of poetry. So, I thought I'd share one with you. I know you're not supposed to explain poems but I remember ones from school being 'what the heck was all that about' sort of ones, so just to say this one means don't take life for granted because you never know when something's going to happen...enjoy life in other words...here goes...
Will soon be still
Don't let days rush by with no second glance,
For sun and sunset are eternally there,
They have no loss of time or last chance
As day and night pass by with hours to spare.
A leaf will fall and dry then disappear,
Its dust blows free on the gentle breeze,
Hold arms out wide to catch raindrops' tears
And drink life's elixir on fallen knees.
Our face grows old with furrows timely deep
By moments gone and hours laughed on by,
The clock itself, whose time is cheap,
Is not ours to spend unwisely without a sigh
Savour days when reflections can be felt
And breathe in deep the hours we freely kill,
Remind our arms of times we dearly held,
For all of our days, rushed, will soon be still.
