THE TAKING

 
Life, what a beautiful thing
we’re given– we’re living,
but where do we go
when the giving becomes taking
the last breaths, shaking.
Where do we go
when we exit the ending?
A new beginning
or somewhere in the middle
to finish what was started
in a universe undeparted.
How long is a hundred years
after a million are lived
Does it feel like a second,
is it relative to reckon?
Blink and it’s over or
awake to a spanking
your first breath, taking -
 
Life, what a beautiful thing.
