Better busy before bare

   Glaze thee eyes ajar--sleeping less

                          Toiling the body, till well used

        To not work fouls the fluid within--arises algae of the veins.

              All in modulation--a brazen life, the better option.

                   

                              Life full of  journeys & stories;

                                     Bringing good memories in longevity--

                Life is better lived when fully used, and the experiences bring you lessons.

I read through this poem at least 30 times now.

It's beautiful poem with a message that I rarely see written beautifully.
I love your choice of the word Toiling. Don't just work. Exhaust yourself. Throughout the poem you continue that idea of completely using every bit inside yourself.

Thanks for sharing.
