Time Is Precious

Time feels different when you’re young compared to when you move along in years. Youth sees five years as a long time. Yet, when you pass the half-century mark, five years seems like the blink of an eye. This is when you fully realize how precious time is.
Time is Precious
 
Never let your days be all about tomorrow’s dreams,
for one day you’ll realize your past is an illusion.
Open your eyes, savor the little moments each day.
When time has passed, when your years are limited,
when a loved one is gone, the little moments
are the treasure for which you endlessly search.
Each dive taken into your memories underscores
how much you missed setting little moments aside
Finally, you realize what “time is precious” means.
It’s not about rushing to get things accomplished
or reaching the apogee of your life before it’s too late.
Time is precious because when you live your life
in the moment, you are creating a life well-lived,
a life full of moments to treasure when time is short,
a life not prepared for a prodigious biography,
but a life of living and loving every moment to its fullest.

    A Diary in Verse

    Pablo Picasso said, “Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.” For me, free verse is like a diary. It serves you by allowing you to release your emotions by setting pen to paper. At times, it helps you clarify your thinking on a subject. Regardless of the motivation, it is an intimate exercise. As a writer, it takes courage to share them with others. The words lay you open to the world.

    Life is a purifying process. It serves as our crucible – a place where we can experience the heat of change. Life is our source for opportunities to transform ourselves. For me, writing, particularly free verse, helps me transform my feelings about difficult situations by putting them down on paper. Oftentimes with those verses serving as release valves, I can feel myself changing as soon as I place the last period on the verse.

    One thing all humans have in common are emotions. Emotions exist on a complex spectrum, and the spark leading to their expression can be either intrinsic or extrinsic. It can stem from experiences in the past or those in the here and now or even those on the world stage.

    I chose to share these in hopes they would resonate with others. I hope some of them can serve you on your journey, if for no other reason than to know you’re not alone in how you are feeling.

I will read forever because it lets me visit in my mind the worlds that I will never be able to see; it helps me put away the stresses of the day and relax into the rhythm of the story before me; it lets me bring to the surface and experience without regrets those feelings I hide away; it lets me re-experience the thrill of first love through someone else's eyes; it keeps my mind juiced so that it will never desert me; it is always there for me even when there's no one else. I will read forever no matter whether it is print or digital because the words will always call to me. ~ A Sassy Scribbler
