Living Well — Dying Well

precepts of destiny

bookends of fate

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

+  —  

 

Patience and time

Courage or fear

Pleasure then pain

Smiles and tears

 

Future and past

Joy or remorse

Vision when blind

Blessing or curse

 

Borrow or steal

Praise and then blame

Life unto death

Loss or a gain

 

Reason and anger

Random or fate

Plussing the minus 

— open the gate

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)

 

 

 

Body & Soul

 

Disease … 

robs you

of your health

 

Dementia …

robs you

 of yourself

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)
