Stagnant Life

Oh to comprehend the path before the end.

To navigate the chasms- the elusive mountain highs.

Valuable time understood, but now it only flies.

The sun goes round. Tick tock it mocks. Escaping without sound. Search in vain, but don’t complain when it cannot be found.

Exhausted by life’s endless demands. Other people’s plans.

To roll the dice just once and see where I might land.

A freedom from the world, to explore what I hold dear.

The idea of stagnant life is all I truly fear.

Tick tock it mocks.

Oh to comprehend the path before the end…
