loss – Picking Up Roots

Stolen Gifts

the greatest gift given
can be stolen in a moment,
it does not matter
the sweetness of the soul;

Fate marches to the beat
of its own drum,
cutting time short
where it sees fit;

so little
is within our control,
make sure to put living
into your life

Immortals

life serves
another reminder:

we are not invincible,

even our immortals
have only
so much time
in the sun
before darkness falls;

nothing is forever

Inevitability

time has done
its inevitable business,

another piece of life
reduced to memory,

an aching reminder
to make the most
of today;

even our immortals succumb
to the passing
of time
