Make the most of life-------or not.

Yesterday,

Actually after the yesterdays

Hiding so many other yesterdays,

We inexplicably step out of the void.

We experience joy, we experience sadness,

We experience love, we experience anger,

We experience courage, we experience fear,.

We experience doubt, we experience faith,

We experience denial, we experience belief,

We experience epiphanies, we experience hope,

….....or not!

Experience is at the heart of it all.

Some among us are not even that lucky.
 

We smell the roses, we smell the garbage,

We taste the sweet lemon, we taste the bitter dandelion,

We see the fall colors, we see the winter clouds,

We feel the baby’s cheek, we feel the rough beard,

We hear the lover’s whisper, we hear the judge’s gavel,

We balance walking in the dark, we collapse losing our way,

….....or not!

Our senses are at the heart of it all.

Some among us are not even that lucky.

Inexplicably we step back into the void.

Before tomorrow,

Followed by tomorrows,

On top of so many more tomorrows.
