The Ticking Time Bomb Now Sleeps
I didn’t know I had a flaw
But now it troubles me no more
A flaw that was with me from birth
A flaw that hid its deadly worth
And my Aortic valve would be
In time, the cause of death for me
But now that flaw has gone away
As…
A blank canvas
Early morning dawn
Promise of a brand new day
Fill it as you wish
How not to do it AKA can’t be bothered
Piles of dust
Washing overflowing
Floor needs mopping
Could do with vacuuming
Hoover leans idly in a cupboard
The washing machine stays silent
Duster is missing
I’ll leave it till tomorrow
Or the next day
The dust will return
It always does
One of life’s certainties
A precious state
What is contentment?
Inner peace and quietness
Stillness of being
Enables you to embrace life
To truly live life
One must face mortality
Squarely and surely
Then you will be free
To live in the here and now
Nothing else matters
For us to cling to
The candle flickers
Like spirit, it ebbs and flows
Throughout the ages
A small light for us
To show the path back to peace
And tranquility
