I want to get away
From the madness
And meaninglessness
Of this materialistic
Monotony
*
Sometimes
I think
I should have chosen
The life
That he has
*
Maybe
I will
Like him
A second time
Round
*
I find
Myself
Asking
The same questions
Today
*
Only
That I am asking them
Too early
But is there a thing
As too early
*
What was it
That they say
Better late than never
Don’t quite agree
With that really
*
The thought
Has crossed
My mind now
Why should I
Let it pass
*
There is
So much left to do
So much left to see
And today
Is not enough

yesterday was never utilized,
and today is never enough.
Very nice, A, and that's an interesting if not mythical description of your profile too.
best wishes
today is never enough. but what exactly is enough?
Each today, well-lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness and each tomorrow a vision of hope. Look, therefore, to this one day, for it and it alone is life.”
~ Sanskrit Poem
The moment i read about august fever Iam reminded of th above poem.
"And today
Is not enough"
It never is, it's a race you keep running. There's a fear that will not let you stop
It's never 'too early' to ask.
I guess.
Today is not enough if it is but a stepping stone to the other side.
"Today is enough and not enough."
The Buddha
Well, okay, I made that up.
Good to see you back! :)
And yes, once the questions tire you out, the only thing that keeps you going is the fact that,
"There is
So much left to do
So much left to see"
And that the whole of your life is not enough at times.
Existential piece. But then show me something which is not!
Sense of futility,it's inevitable!
im lacking for words. i'm also lacking any feeling in my feet.
Glad to c u back here...and the thought process is somewhat like wot i'm goin thru at present..
will it ever be enough? our time here, i mean? everyday i ponder that over tea. and i find i don't even have enough time to enjoy the damn thing. we move too fast, and our lives, much faster.
I enjoyed the subconscious aspect of this. I think we all question what we have time for and try to squeeze everything in.
Ayyo
I love the alliteration of the opening stanza. It's a very nice set-up for the rest
its been awhile This poem it reminds me that Im not taking enough to utlize the time and today seem not enough to achieve the ste goals ukh

And then she runs and runs,
she keeps on running
to see how far she can go
without stopping.
today is not enough but it better work.
Lovely verse. As always.
...but yesterday was today too and tomorrow will be today too..more than enough, don't you think so?
:))
Trite!
Sorry to say but all your posts sound the same. Disconnected, pseudo-intellectual and sometimes even meaningless.
There is never a thing as too early. You need to listen to some Moody Blues. You will know what song I mean...if you look.
Oooo, I like the structure so much! Very nice indeedy!
So much left to do!
Isnt that the story of all our life..EVERYDAY!
Where are you?

that i landed
up here
