Epiphany

My life passes by in an instant, A lighting strike, An immediate presence then gone, What has brought me to this point, I will miss you my love, The wind at my back, The sun in my face, It was hot that day. A bead of a sweat trickles down my cheek, The silence of dead space follows me, In my gut I know it wasn't my day. The buzzards await their meal, I realize, Honor is the foundation of my word , Action is the beneficiary of my tongue. My neurons a slave to my ego, The executor of my thought , And as I count my paces, I realize this is me! I am greatful to know, I am truly alive.......
