Don't fill yourself with glass half empty.

Don't fill yourself with glass half empty.

A Poem by KWP
"

Day 12 NaPoWriMo - drink up - a whisky for me, please.

"

Sooner or later this earth will end,

we cannot stop the time or motion.

As the animals slowly disappear,

we humans will surely follow.

It’s survival of the fittest you know, 

(but, shh, here’s a secret -

nature always wins, 

in the big scheme of things.

I will say it again, 

nature always wins). 

You will die one day, 

so will I, 

no need for tissues, please - 

I already told you the secret, 

nature always wins. 

So when you are dead (me too, I’ll be dead)

and your body either 

slowly decomposes, 

is burnt to a cinder, 

or given to the vultures to feast,
nature will reign,

take your physical home again, 

maybe turn you into 

a life-giving mushroom for a bit. 

It’s a given,

nothing ever stays the same.

Said more profoundly by Heraclitus, 

‘you can never step into the same river twice’
(I’ve always liked that).

Not even Earth, earth will die,

that's the nature of things.
And at the end of whatever it is, that is ending, 

nature always wins. 

So fill your glass, drink it down, 

feel the bubbles 

massage your heart like a 

sexy Thai massage.
It’s all gonna end - no matter what.

Enjoy the moment before the ends does start.

You inserted that line so well...

*‘you can never step into the same river twice’
(I’ve always liked that).
Not even Earth, earth will die,
that's the nature of things.*

I have always liked that... Hmm, a personal drop of writers thought into the background of the poem... Interesting, and hopefully I can finish writing this review before nature finds me... With a sexy Thai massage of words, this was penned...

Indeed. Nothing stays the same. Fot what comes before shall go back and sooner or later we'll going to return to what we were once. It reminds us not to wallow things that in the past and live life to the fullest. A great poem Maam.

The cycles are not controlled by us, nature is the true boss and it is humbling to accept that. Something so beyond our control should be respected and each bubble savoured but so many attempt to pause the moment, this is a great reminder not to :)
