Tattered yellowing page,
faded lines that have blurred,
time-lapse tales of today
having just now occured.

So it seems at this pace,
grains of sand swift to fall,
everything's premature,
comes a notion to stall.

Changing shadow to light,
black and white into gray,
adding color and warmth
to the depths of dismay.

Bringing focus up close
from the end of a line,
fill your lungs and exhale
for the life we define

may be pointless and brief
or beyond your belief.

I really enjoyed the read. Thank you for posting. I guess "different strokes for different folks" comes into play. My life is niether pointless or brief and much more unbelievable then beyond belief.

So, give me the risk.
I'll take the pain.
I feel (think) therefore,
I live again!

Best Regards,
