Last Days

Time is short
Unknown when the number
Will be picked
Push everything off until tomorrow
Trying to make sense
Of the past by wrapping
Your head around it
All the while
Forgetting to live in the present
One breath
One heartbeat.

I’m not afraid of dying
I’ve been terrified of living
But I’m not a young man anymore
With the open road in front of him
I cringe at some of the decisions I made
My will
Grateful I’ve listened to the wisdom
Bestowed upon me
Thy will
I wouldn’t be here.

For the direction is clear
I alone can’t steer
When I’m to leave this earth
I pray that my last breath
Is of a sobriety and purity
My financial house is in order
I finally make peace with the ones I’ve hurt
As well as the ones that for unknown reasons whether
Rational or not chose to wound me
That my conscience is clear
My legacy is intact.

A man thinketh too much
But everyone has a destiny
It’s all subjective anyway
But when judgement day is announced
I better be prepared
Armed with the reminder
That I must start living in the moment
With a poised eye toward the road ahead.

P-4/7/19.
