Speak
Words of comfort,
Think
Before beginning
Or ending.
Enlist
Deepest thoughts
And heart’s belief.
Imagine
Loss so great.
No time
To repent
Words
And actions.
Regret
To grief.
Now.
Not later
Or tomorrow.
Time slips
Away.
Opportunities
Lost,
To this thief.
Been there, done that. The mind has a tendency to speak first, regret at leisure. Thank you for the share 🙂

How true about procrastination! To act now or regret not having acted later…procrastination really is a thief of time and opportunities. Excellent poem! Reowr!

Thank you, Cubby. On the nail. So many opportunities lost. And, in some instances, never the possibility to redress. Too sad, I think.x

Wonderful piece. Tell the people you love how you feel now while there is time. Before we lose them and become lost without them.
Keep Inspiring

I put off reading this because I knew it would chastise me (it’s one of my many struggles). Sometimes I feel like the Roman god Janus, always looking backward and forward and then the ‘now’ slips away too. Yikes!

I think I’m very guilty of that too! Too many tomorrows in my life. But no more…..well, maybe. :)x

There must be a lot of us about! I’m trying to be about ‘today’ now. Well, for some things. Definitely not in any rush to face certain chores. ;)x

Chores? What might that be? Seems to rhyme with a word beneath me and thee 😉
