Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Lately Thinking I

Lately i've been thinking

Am i blue or am i pink

Am i living out this life in real time

Or merely following the highlights

Can i or could have indeed done
anything different

Made better choices gone right
instead of left

Or is it and was it all predestined

And i just a passenger or guide

Here is where i am

Where i was simply unavoidably
meant to be

Until my clock expires and so do i

Not a second more or less to buy

Where i stand is where i die

Lately i've been thinking

I think to much

Wishing what limited time 
i have away

Complaining rather than
being grateful and relishing

All the thing's i am bound to miss

Thing's i wish i should and could
have done

But put off in favour of doing
nothing of consequence 

Worthy of a single memory or
anecdote to last me or keep
me company for eternity

If someone was in death to ask

Alkas Poetry April 26, 2021 at 11:41 AM I stay here thinking about how each of us lives is ... Are the choices we make the right ones? instead of being right or left being both? Yes because they say that virtue is in the middle ... I think and do it for myself and I try not to regret it ... what I do most is to dream .. I dream that the world is one ... if not, it will be. ..for I am living and learning to play!
