PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I saw a dog lean out a car window,

His long, pink tongue glistening in the sun.

He smiled back although he doesn’t know 

How very much the two of us are one.

Different players will inhabit this space,

A new dog and man where these crossroads meet –

If time knows one thing it’s how to replace

And it’s true of life that all things repeat.

Like the sandpipers that rush on the beach

And the daffodils drinking the sun’s rays

I savor the beauty within my reach

Since its splendor can’t be mine for always.

One must make peace with the way of all things

And I am certainly no exception.

In spite of anything the future brings

Forward is the only right direction.

To squander life’s pleasures would be a sin.

From this day on I’ll let happiness in.
