Life and Living

Tue, 07/03/2018 - 09:13 -- Apmille

Life and living,

No one knows the differences between the two.

Endless nights with spirits in hand or standing in the church pew.

What defines life or living?

Praying for acceptance, or be the exception.

Fighting for a chance, to have the upper hand or be the by stand.

Life is fast, we don't see it till it has past.

Life and living you ask?

They saw stop and smell the roses, so you can notice.

Life is all around, making it's silent sound,

Yet we still race and not thinking of slowing the pace.

Now we are slow and old.

Wondering where has time gone, why did we not listen to the silent song?

Life and living?

Take the time smell the roses, do not become so focused.

Life should be slow but always know,

Living is now.
