Haiku, Rhyme, Reality
may be astounding
often gets the heart pounding
this life which we lead
spiraling onward
in expanding cosmic sea
the planet and we
we carry the backbones
our genes allow to be grown
free standing not prone
eschewing timeworn
helping concepts to be born
egos we adorn
rehashing the past
brings relief which does not last
anger rises too fast
beyond good reason
some humans hope to squeeze in
a full afterlife
searching for a role
wanting not half but the whole
how fragile this soul
life but one small blip
upon eternity's tip
a truly short trip
no one avoids death
everyone takes one last breath
reference Macbeth
and yet in the end
while there is still time to spend
this life pleases me
