Life's Dare

The day has turned to dust

Dawn has became dusk

The past has been shown

The present is now known

The future remains a unknown

These words now say 

How the kite of life went through yesterday to see today

And now has been flown into the next day

Words of wisdom fill the air

And with them there is no despair

To experience the ride of life

We ride the kite on a whim and a dare

Early morning reading to get the mind buzzing. Thank you for sharing your excellent poetry Joseph. Have a fabulous weekend and I hope to see more of your poetry when I get back to the Soup Monday. Usually pretty busy on the weekends with family so don't get to read much. Love, Carol
