Lifespan

However short life always seem The road ahead is ever so long Never enough sleep for too much dreams Is there enough life to belong? As I sat as I watch the never life Ever roles ever so evermore ever hold Speaking volumes when only death survives Why is it of death we cannot grasp and behold? Wasting and saving time sometimes What exactly did we waste or save? Can you ever hear those silent chimes? What of life splendor to only say hi then wave? Forever living for moments until Moments never living till living we knew Faking a living life for life living real When did death becomes old for life anew? Good times are always short-lived Bad times... given lifespan perhaps too long To otherwise choice less to believe Have you life or simply death to belong?

Deep questions to contemplate. Yes, it does seem that good times are short lived. Death is an ever present part of life...We need to make each day count. Thank you for sharing.
