we had a nice run didn’t we
I’m tired & want to lie down
will you lie down with me
and not say a word
the pace of life must slow
if I am able to go on
it’s not a matter of oxygen
but of imagination
the power to continue
remains out of my control
it used to be easy
to believe in immortality
but tonight the world
proves otherwise

well done
Thank you, Beth.
Beautiful lines 👍
Thank you, Priti.
A very relatable piece. It’s not easy to conjure up the strength and resolve to continue; sometimes it seems that all we are doing is repeating ourselves, and the desire to stop becomes almost overwhelming. You put this succinctly and effectively.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one, Chris.
I like that! ✍️ “it’s not a matter of oxygen
