We All Know What We Wait For, But What Happens First

08:45 I've got eyeliner on, but I'm cancelling it out with a quilted coat I've got fun stuff to say, but I'm cancelling it out with apologising for existing I've got a life to live but I'm cancelling it out by being afraid of condemnation there's a single leaf right on the end of the branch it waits in beauty 08:48

an interesting read on perhaps we wait too much for death. We need to live in the present and linger in the beauty of the day.

I think it's easy to offset good things and for perfectly good days to be wasted - I regret I do that x

A very creative write. I enjoyed reading it. Keep on going/no cancelling out. We cannot stop time or control it... Have a blessed day............

When you sweep everything else away, what is precious can become clear. Thank you for your comment x

Your Haibun is a great meditation on death. I too feel it is round the corner. But I live my day. Loved your thoughts. Blessings.

Let's refocus as a meditation on living - we can't buy time but we'll waste it with abandon on unimportant fretting, it would be great for that to lessen for everyone x
