Shiki Remindio Poet Free verse

Mine and Mine Alone

Life, my life, my life
The precious last waters within the heart of the Sahara
To choose would be the true death of me
I wish I could do with an Earth’s blink of life
My lifetime
My greediness overcomes me
Yet I thank the almighty God for this haven
To burn in hell is worse than
A second chance on Earth
Oh how I value something that is lost so easily
Never comes back to me for a second chance
Would you give your lifeline to me if
It was possible?
The hourglass will never be turned over again for me
The blood-stained particles just spill
I wish I could cup it
And pour it back once again
Just once I would not regret
Just
Once

Audrey Haick January 17, 2010 at 9:35 AM A profound and beautiful piece. We can't go back, but we can start a new page in our lives, let go of the past and start a new...as of today and that would be enough. Our God, after we ask forgiveness, and make an effort not to return to our past lives, wipes the slate clean and we don't have to be concerned about our past. Just learn from it. Life is tough! Peace, Audrey
