Vignettes
TRUTH
To be liked is fine; To be loved divine. Once it happened to me. But that was then And this is now, And unlikely to again be!
SURVIVING LIFE
That I, having skirted The echoes of war and yet still be among the living. Is a tribute to life Its battles, its strife Although few of those battles Were worth winning.
WE, THE VISITORS
Yes, we're here; a whistle stop near the great beyond; a temporary stay at best. So what does it matter, The here or the now 'cause in this short life We're but guests!
BEING INTREPID
Dare you not try To harness the whirlwind; It won't stand still for you. So forget about trying, nor dwell upon dying. There's worthier things You can do!
HAPPINESS
Happiness is a fleeting mindset, always put to the test; If not around It can't be found; disappear is what it does best!
