I am a shadow
of who I once was,
which is a gift
that takes time to accept;
I don't move as I did,
but with the wisdom of experience
I'm more decisive when I do;
I no longer burn
in a constant, uncontrolled anger
but choose my spots
to emphasize my points;
I have no expectations of the world,
I understand I am unique,
but not special;
this shadow I have become
possesses more depth
than who I was;
though on some days
the past may seem
a more comfortable place,
I'm here now
living this moment

Precious Resources
time moves at its pace, consistent in its passing, it is steady; we refuse to stop, to recognize it as it goes by; we burn it as waste, failing to understand: every second once spent, is lost; we don't give it the value - the respect - it deserves; it is our most precious resource, we fail to take into account: it will not renew.
