Procrastination

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.

  1. 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!

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

  3. 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!
