A diaphanous veil This world to next Yet what's beyond Still keeps us vexed We dangle on Such wispy threads Just a fancy's flight From fancy breads We take for granted Each new breath When naught but heartbeats From our death So, fill your days With purpose, rife For all we really have ... Is LIFE.

I missed this one somehow, very introspective and philosophical, carries a lot of truth, enjoy the moment with an eye on the future, another great write Greg!

I'm immature in only wanting to read rhymes, so I picked on this one, and it's fantastic!

Thank you so much, Hannah ... I love rhyme myself, and while free verse is great, too, I find rhyme more personally rewarding and creative, (I hope I don't get shot for saying that, lol). Blessings! :-)
