I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.

Losing others is gradual

Like blindness

The petals of the last rose

Fell slowly

And vanished



A lone candle light

flickered, went out

Another fight for life

Lost



Even the strongest oak

Can fall

Even a gazillion dollars

Can be spent



Holding life out at arm’s length

like newsprint

Like a fragile petal

So very easily

Lost



So

leave room

for hope
