The decade of the Aughts


"Don't Think About the Consequences"


It's been a charmed life I've led, I'm full of sweat and blood, I exist in time and tide, and in my own domain.
I feel with a feeling felt immeasurably, and time has taught me well, but as the eons pass,
I'm falling down a well,
And light, cool breezes, sanity, and good feelings fall in as well,
And I will try but never understand, and only this same time can tell.


If life were extinguished for me, in a minute or two, I would try to explain that it doesn't matter,
Really, I have a clue
To the unstoppable eternity that's waiting for us all,
And if the clarion call, should hasten my fall,
I will embrace this inconsistency, no matter what happens next
And this past life shall be spelled out in my poetry text


Perhaps, this feeling of foreboding shall melt away,
And though I feel I have no worries, charms can stale the most perfect day
If my life is set, and there were no more challenges for me
Then I will welcome the doorway at the end of this life's well
and as I mentioned before
Embrace lifeless eternity.
