I can almost hear it
not quite knocking
with a contemplating hand
a breath away from my door
it knows where I am
and when I will be no more
It makes just enough sound
to bring an audible fright
and then it slips away
as I quickly steal back the covers
from the remiss night
I've decided not to be terrified
of its teasing
I just allow it to be a reminder
that there are days still left
to be seizing.
Seize the days one at a time, we begin to die the day we're born. The idea is to live each one we are given.
