Your Life Depends On It

Dragon’s breath.
Last breath.
Breath of life.
Breathe already!
Do not hold your breath.

Life is too short
but shorter still
are the moments
worth remembering.

First step.
Next step.
Fast step.
Take a step already!
Do not stop moving.

Find your direction
and march towards it.
Keep the pace,
do not look back.

The growing old of youth,
a hard fact to accept.
Slowly pushing back
the curtain of time,
silence slips through to the end.

  1. Great Yarmouth is a seaside town on a spit of land between the North sea and the Yare river in Norfolk, England, near Gariannonum, a 3rd-century Roman fort camp on the litus Saxonicum (Saxon Shore). Charles Dickens called it "the finest place in the universe."
