lets not forget

by orchidmask

there was a time when
all was well and
hearts shone on the sunlight

life reminds use
of those days in the sun
then gives us clouds to ponder

leaving us in the lurch
we call our everyday
deciding for ourselves

are we fit for the endeavor
do we have the mettle
to settle in and strive

or are we pawns in the unwinable
match of life and sparks
left to singe or fire us

never to allow
the passing sun
to appeal to us

for favor of the shade
in places we felt comfort
unseeing our undoing

many steps precede today
yet have we noticed
the course we chose was ours

before the waters swept us
to the gravel and debris
we have settled for as real

our tomorrow arrives today
with sweeping wind
and bending willow

allowing us to stand
observing together
that which was thrown aside

as the pull of life
conspires against us
never to concede

giving us one option
to live or to die
as silver to white gold
