BURIED IN LIFE

I remember very little
About the Viet Nam war,
Watergate, and the trip to the moon.
I was so busy with living.

There are poems unwritten,
Pictures unpainted,
Books unread,
Places unseen,
Because I was so busy with living.

I wonder about people I never met,
Those I knew only a little,
Words unsaid and words unheard,
Questions unasked and thoughts unborn,
When I was too busy with living.

Now, as I reach back
Through the cobwebs of Time,
Searching the attic of my mind,
I wonder,
How much of living I missed
While I was busy living.
