A Lifetime A Day
In the space between breaths.
The silence between two notes.
It can be gone –
A month’s worth of words
erased with a fingertip.
Gone for
forever.
A 12, 30 even 63 year marriage over
With 4 simple words spoken:
I want a divorce.
A home with all its possessions
destroyed in a matter of minutes
in the fury of nature –
Fire,
storm,
or selfishness
Life!
so fragile,
with no guarantees
of longevity
or comfort,
begs to be lived
now.
In the middle of it all,
the song must be sung
or forever silenced.
Living a lifetime a day
is the only way
to count
for the sake of goodness.
This moment
is the only moment that counts.
The thing eternal
are these moments
that don’t wait.
Take a deep, deep breath
of the spirit that is giving it all.
Breathe your thank you’s
in and out.
Slowly.
Wholly.
Holy.
Allow this new air change the world,
to light up the inner rooms of darkness,
for the only gift that matters,
the only thing that remains.
All else can be destroyed.
When nothing else remains,
what is this eternal gift?
Love, and love alone
is why we exist.

Thanks for another wonderful post. The place else could anybody get that type of info in such a perfect means of writing?
I have a presentation subsequent week, and I’m at the search for such info.
Thank you so much. If you let me know what you are looking for I will try to help. I write a lot and get a lot of inspiring daily blogs. 🙂 Amy
