What You Should Do

Late at night music on the radio the lights out Your fate is in your hands What you should do with your remaining time is something you must decide Late at night music on the radio the candle of life burning slowly You must decide what you should do The demons within and without Make your decision a difficult one Let the light of the moon illuminate your path Let starlight aid you on your journey Let yourself travel on paths of peace towards the ultimate goal which lies at the end of a very long road

A thought provoking write, Matthew. Much to see on this path towards "which lies at the end". "a very long road", we might stubble but should dust ourselves off and move ahead. Nicely penned!! Mikki

With time running out there is limited opportunity to get it together. Nice ending that gives hope.

You sure draw many pictures of the heavens in this contemplative write. Quite possibly, u have the answer and need to just GO FOR IT! The answer is usually found when we talk to the One who made these stars. Love to ya, Gwendolen

Matthew, You'll have to forgive me for not visiting your poems for the longest time...Sometimes just pop over and say, "Hey, check out my latest!" bc I had been so busy with school for the past 2 yrs and got out of touch with some of my fav'd poets. Gwendolen

what should yoyu do with your remaining time. i think at this point that questioned has been answered already. the question now is should i go deeper. risk it all though my heart is at stake. it's a high stakes risk we're taking when we give our all.
