What if life was played in fast forward?
Would you not notice the blurred images
kaleidescope colors, warped sounds
and desparately try to focus on the moment?
Would you think about tomorrow,
remember the past, have time to breathe
to care, to reflect, to appreciate?
Would anything that worries you matter ten years from now?

What if life was played in reverse?
Would you redo things, differently?
Experience love of each other more carefully?
Rethink your actions and priorities
or feel the need to change your identity?
What would matter ten years from now?

And if life was paused
Would you be doing, what you are doing right now?
What is the first thing that comes to mind?
Could you be happy? 
Was love your greatest quest?
What really matters right now?

Either way we all reach the end.
But we write our own story
Life is about choices
