Where would you go What would you do If you had a short time to finish your life
How far would you go To see who you want of friend's from the past Would you make your time needy or embrace it in full And treasure whats left In taking your guard and put it aside To make that time real.
Rain when it starts has a smell of it's own Would you breathe it in deep
A field filled with flowers Grass that stands tall Dances and looks to the sky up above Would you see what that field feeds to your eyes or pass it on by.
You could lay on your back Look up to the sky See what the clouds shape in your mind Then let out a deep breath A dragonfly in hover 3 feet away lookin at you He's willing to land but feels it's not safe
We all send out vibes All nature picks up To help us decide If those vibes are too strong Nature backs up and looks somewhere else Or agression comes out in defence of itself as instinct kicks in.
Would you stop on the road where a turtle's halfway Help it the rest By stopping your car Letting other drivers see Whats right versus wrong
Would you slow down your life In a way to make it, not just about you.
Would you sit in the night With a candle by your side Reflect on the times You grew from the good that came to your life.
If I knew my time was near I'd be happy to know That my life that I lived Let me see what was there In front of my eyes
My eyes were once blind from the anger inside that harboured my life.
funny how we must remove ourselves from our 'selves' in order to truly see. sometimes i think the universe needed an optometrist when making us...or...did it hope we would see on our own...as you have. interesting thoughts, bentlee...cool piece of words.

I think I would do both, going back & forth between "...make your time needy" & "embrace...and treasure whats left". Some great lines- a couple of favorites: "what that field feeds to your eyes", "dragonfly...lookin at you... feels its not safe" - things I've never thought of in that way.
Reflecting...candle by your side about the times you grew from the good that came to your life... very thought-provoking line.
Really nice to read & think about (tho i would like that time to be at least a little way down the road..lol... but if I was there, these thoughts would be something to consider... & I think of some comfort as well)Really great!

This poem (eyes were once blind) is the best one I have read in a long time just wonderful, I do beleive our vibes change things, and what goes around comes around. but hopefully when my time comes I feel at the peace this poem brings with all
