The Blink of an Eye

The blink of an eye

Ones life in the scheme of things

Its here and then gone

Wasted due to our own fears

Until we end in regret

This should never be

We were all born to create

Everything we dream

The only shame–not living

Just because we are afraid

.

    Beautiful poem. Reminds me of a conversation earlier today about someone who lets fear prevent them from doing anything.

      I think it happens to all of us at one time or another and in reality that is no way for us to live, life is too short.

    Meshes with the book I’m reading right now for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai: Aleph, by Paulo Coelho. Being afraid to move on, being afraid to live, causing spiritual death and regret. Well written Dom :)
