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

How true ! Happy New Year Dominic. Perhaps this is the year we learn to live without fear..
Personally, I hope so. Happy New Year to you as well my friend. Thank you.
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.
Amen to this;). Darn good advice. xxx
Thanks Kimberly. :)
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 :)
Thank you Jen, you know how I love all things spiritual. :)
Love this one. :)
It was comforting to find you at my little site. Thank you.
