Poem44.Live in Present

Live in Present

Leaning on an elbow
peering out a window.
View the road nearby
morning flying by.
 
People moving,
vehicles going
children running
horns are sounding

Busy on their own walks
each of them  in journey ahead
what they do,where they go
who knows, who cares.

Want for a bright future
forgets to live todays.
we run,work , gain fortune,
but health deteriorates.

Thriving for better lives
makes us run very fast.
What happens if we decides
sure,do live in present.

Death a dangling  blade
hangs on each one's head
Better for us live today,
tomorrows who can say .

Entered for Jingle's Poetry Potluck -Journey and the Road Ahead!!!!!

It always is a balancing act isn't it! In this poem you are trying to stay in the present, "where they go who knows who cares', yet in your magpie, you stress the importance of a foundation forged in one's youth! So where does that leave you? Read the map, but enjoy the journey, I guess.
