Dissent

I must Dissent,
take Gentle Issue
with a Purposeful
Platitude

Meant to Stir
Awareness of
The Irreplaceable
Gemstone
That Is

A Moment.

“Live That Moment
as if It’s
Your Last,”

Is What
We’re Told.

But I Dissent.

The Vibe
that Birthed
that Maxim Is
Fear

of Missing Out,
of Spending
some Parsimonious
Dole
from a
Stingy Creator.
Who Is Only Giving You
One Life,

and Offering Only a
“Tut, Tut,”
If You Seem To
Waste It,

then Slip Into
Some Abyss of
Forever Forgottenness.

What If
Your Soul
was Fashioned from
The Maker’s Own
Light and Love
and
There Is No End
To You,

Only an Endless
Victory
of Love
over Fear,

from
Lifetime to Lifetime.
