Time explodes
it erases our existence as if it was never there
I wish I could stop it for a moment
Breathe in the beauty of life
Engage in detail of all the special moments
I have missed
Unfortunately none of us were granted this
To record every beautiful thing life has to offer
Instead we live each day in fear that it could be our last
Our memories erased of the laughs and tears
of many years
Why not granted of these years? Why?
From the birth given by our mother
to the day we breathe our last breath
Life would be so much more had fate not stepped in
to tell us of our toll
We were not given a role
Just another hopeless soul stuck in existence
we didn't ask for
We hope for the best but even money can't buy us
this (LIFE)

I do not need shine or wealth, just a pen and some paper for my health

You expressed very well the fear of living, the fear of missing our mission here. The soul, in my opinion, is not unfortunate, it maintains itself whole and sacred and beautiful, through all our struggles, nudging us gently to awaken to love, to become aware of our power to share love, to BE LOVE.

Dear Althia, you have written a poem that serves as a reminder, thank you.

Love,
Margherita

Yo dear Tatalinia,

Count your blessings Hon.  What you're missing might not be all that great.

Love Bobby

Open, honest, heartfelt!

a reminder, of our life, what our mission is
while we are here, to find it, do it, and
cherish time....
