Ribbon of Light

A life so short at the ending Yet so long at the beginning Time is nothing but it is everything Existing as we are Moving forwards and backwards Up down and sideways At the exact same time Always colliding These lives intertwine One beginning with another thoughts ending with the other Yours mine and ours Each of us A ribbon of light A line securely tied tight When severed Fades Darkens Until it is nothing This ride of intermingling pain and joy Like a sweet n' salty treat To live is not for nothing And not for everything This path walked by many is unforgiving Yet enlightening We are the same But we are different Some fill their living moments with all that is possible Others leave theirs blank A minute is short But a second can last forever
