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 |
