futility

Life is an obstacle course with

pitfalls:

 gates that open yet close fast

friends running in every direction

catch me if you can

the avoidance of dwelling on death

your parents 

your  forthcoming one 

life becomes  a non stop car

riding into you 

as you dodge

it once again

the obstacles of life

are  Painful challenges  so  sadly feared

till

there comes  the time

when 

one

can find oblivion

drowning

in a

 lake -

this time  too far and 

too stagnant

to swim

How very true your words1 Life is non.stop rush and push, shove and noise, noise, NOISE all the time. It can drown the human spirit, or, at best, dilute it. The way you've displayed your words make then pour like a deluge down the page.. rushing away, feelings being lost in the flow. Such a clever way of showing what you mean. But oblivion should be avoided, life is beautiful.. must turn away and fine peace somewhere, by sea, by meadow, by faith, by love. Perhaps.

what a phenomenal reveiwer you are kind emmajoy!!
perhaps Kate Spade should have avoided her oblivion.. i hope to avoid mine, if not with love, numero uno choice, then by fresh air and faith and love of my sons... sea is also wonderful!!

Enjoy the magic of them all - such an adventure. But methinks your sons will come first, luv. xx

Life is the fastest rowing boat in the universe!
Hold fast to it nor every moment is passing anyway.....
life becomes a non stop car - that's now thoughtful for me!
Nice read Marilyn😊
