As Life Flies By

by MoHawk - Leo

It flies by, just a blur,
Hard to make out what it is,
So many things, so little time,
All crammed together,
Sometimes for the better, sometimes the worse,
Just a collage of thoughts, things, people,
All familiar but vague nevertheless,
And then it becomes clear.

This is your life.

It's short but intense,
It has its ups and its downs,
It can be easy and hard,
It's full of smiles and frowns,
In it there are successes,
And also defeats,
There are unbelievable highs,
And crushing lows alike.

It is a balance,
And a delicate one at that.
Some things take priority over others,
But all are equally important.

And as this blur flies by,
As you fling your head to catch a glimpse,
You must grab on,
Because this is a once in a lifetime ride.

Reason for writing:

    Don't ask questions, okay? :)
