Rumination

how many more mornings
will the songs of the birds
climb out of the darkness;
how many more sunrises
will I watch explode
over the shadowed trees;

how much time do I have left,

not so much
that I can afford to take this -
or any - moment for granted;

appreciate the present

Mortality

each day
remember your mortality,
not as a burden 
to be feared,
but as an impetus
to maximize your life,
to be good,
to live well

Exposed

I was ripped open by Life,
a deft hand
cut straight to the core;
I watched the blade sink deep;
only once it touched my soul
did I understand:
I had always been exposed
