Plan B

Plan B

Death is the containing urn
Into which life is poured
Existence 
The momentary to be 
It’s beginning and end
Mystery

Which experiences are chosen
Do we choose ?
Does the living water 
Collected for death to savor
Taste sweet or sour
Simply meant to be
Perspective


There is no more time
Words unsaid shall never repeat
Gestures unused empty to the touch
There is no more time
They have passed
These life time loves 
Gone
Moved on to another place
All the moments left for another day
For another day
Has wasted their time


Should Plan A fail
Resort to plan B


Dreams made in rash derision
Decision by desire you learn could be different
Formulate then another future
If everything you wished for
Did not prove to be better
Seek then to guide your heart
Be not so brash about life’s misadventure
Look for an alternative way to see
If plan A fails
Resort to plan B
