Secondhand Whispers (Tanka)

Secondhand whispers

Softly, rhythmically droning

Fleeting in countdown

Too busy–we wish them gone

That is until the drone stops

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

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

.
