On the Cutting Edge

Today is all we have, please use it well

On stories of the past, let us not dwell

Sad memories and drama dent our souls;

Better far to plan fun, future goals.

 

Our lives may be a whirlwind, filled with sparks

Or maybe we’ve found peace within our hearts

But in both cases, we must forge ahead

Because too soon the Fates will cut our thread!

 

Pandora’s box revealed her last gift, hope

Despite our many traumas on life’s slope

There are always rainbows to be seen

And under winter’s dead leaves burgeons green!

 

A poet’s task means lifting up the veil

Shaking up ideas long grown stale

Cutting from our life-loaf a fresh slice

So, though it is not perfect, it stays nice!
