Daily missive for Friday the 7th of June.~by Peter Forster

 

 

Daily missive for Friday the 7th of June.

With the passing of years
There is a chance
For learning
Take nothing as a given
Or for granted
With every loss
Is realisation
Life is temporary
A contemporary state
Supplementary to the
Passage of the soul
We are fragile
In the flesh
Living in borrowed clothes
Designed
To enhance the experience
Of teetering on the verge
Of something other
Waiting for an answer
Is time limiting
When what is done
Will always be
We are fragile
Our existence
Brief and fleeting
A ripple on the surface,
In extension
We will go on
Washed up
On some distant shore
Surviving in extant
Newly aware
Of the ambiguity
The uncertain nature
Of fragility
Is both a weakness
And our greatest strength
