Set Ablaze

By swf27texas

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

'The best things in life never seem to last' Before you know it Ecstasy has already past. 'If you miss beat You could loose your rhythm' And the rest of your life Could forever remain dim 'Chance of a life time' Could only last a moment. Before you know it Life is without fulfillment. 'Glory and Fame' Could flash before your eyes. You could leave everything the same But your life still cries. It cries for a chance To be set ablaze. Power of a reflex Is where it all lays. Sometimes no time to think Interruption of the way it is suppose to go. A single thought ending the possibilities Of eternal adrenaline flow. You never know what that opportunity holds Your reaction may seem crazed and deranged But is well worth the risk Your whole life could be changed.
