Life

The Phantasm and Fortunato
of life; the mysteries of the mind

You are set to explore, you are ready
to explain - but just can't

Your thesaurus not able to convey
what you really want to say

With words such as gentle, love, touch
but! The most important word of all

Life...

How do you conjure         convey this?

Perhaps by using words like
precious, breath, or taking for granted

All I know are words such as beauty, grateful
and you, all you: humans, amphibians, mammals,
animals, and every            every breath we take

It can all be gone so fast; unforeseen goodbyes,
crying, dying and regret

So I am saying now             hold onto every second, minute
and don't let go.....
