In haste, we waste
the chance to taste
the finer things
routine replaced

and blind, we find
we never dined
on daring things
routine declined

A glance, by chance
at lifes expanse
gives one last hope
to learn to dance

or look behind
and nevermind
regretting things
you'll never find

or look behind
and be confined
by all new things
routine maligned

Great write, Darkling.  It's all about taking those chances!  Well penned as usual.

Good one. Intriguing rhyme scheme, and a bit of wisdom sparkles through.

I think you're reading my mind...
Regrets are like bitter wine,
they not only bite, they burn!!!

Nice going Jason~

Jason...I love this...both the message and the verse.
Enjoyed the rhyme and flow too...reads like a chant.

Wonderfully done, my friend.

so busy we can't take the time to enjoy what we have, and so settled into the rut-ine that we take for granted our very lives, yes? My mind loves a rhyme - very nice. Peace, Joe

This was not ordinary rhyme, it had twists and turns inside my head (if that makes sense)betwwen looking back, and not.



very catching, you got me thinking now...

Decisions, decisions, what's a person to do? Methinks time just takes it's course. Sure we can turn that tide by choices we make if we *want* to affect a change, but not always is change in the cards at that time. Timing is everything! So there. hehe ..Just kidding..here's a smiley--

(big hugggsssssss) Routine is always a slow death in my mind! I believe we should all have a "life" and not a "living" and explore and adventure the great beyond out there and find relationships between everything! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is most well-written, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jason, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

this is amazing, truly
and here:

A glance, by chance
at lifes expanse
gives one last hope
