Poetry: Living fully

by Brian Willett

How many days have passed you by
While you frittered away precious time?
Seize life and death you'll defy.

You've sat on the sidelines with wandering eye
Wasting away your precious prime
How many days have passed you by?

Mind moored to ground never trying to fly
Your lack of imagination a heinous crime
Seize life and death you'll defy.

Yet like Haley you could leave your mark on the sky
If only once you attempted to climb
How many days have passed you by?

But you sit and sulk saying it's simply too high
Your voice and vision a mere pantomime
Seize life and death you'll defy.

If only you had the courage to try
You'd realize a life so sublime
How many days have passed you by?
Seize life and death you'll defy.
