One More Cup of Tea<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been suggested,
\nwith the best
\nof intentions,
\nthat what you
\ndo today
\nshould be measured
\nby how many
\nheartbeats you
\nhave left.<\/p>\n

As if your desire
\nto have one more
\ncup of tea
\nwith that last
\nginger cookie<\/p>\n

must be reconsidered
\nbecause it cost you
\none hundred beats
\nto read this.<\/p>\n

My suspicion that
\n\u201cLife\u2019s too short\u201d
\nis one of Fear\u2019s
\nmost subtle lies
\nis growing stronger
\nwith every
\nbreath.<\/p>\n
