Old or Dead?

Time waits for no one; we’ve all heard it said.
But it changes shoes; some skate & some tread.

It marches in spite of dread & desires.
It doles low slung days & frightful high wires.

If you’ve got rhythm, & foresight, you surf…
Happily joining with time on its turf.

One can choose to rage & flail against time.
They’re song loud & short; no chorus…no rhyme.

Time’s dance spun for me a dearly fine thread.
And…
I keep weaving; choosing old over dead.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
