Life Happens Quickly
Life happens quickly
sometimes brutally
you are sideswiped
by someone you love
harboring a hidden viper
no way out
I feel an ending out there
waiting
Is there always a beginning
after an ending
Do I go forward to find
or be found
When do I start cheating time
Life speeds up
I slow down
Tonight I build a fire
carry memories not expectations
feed the cat
make a cup of tea
watch sunset become twilight
darkness settling around the house
I feel an ending out there
