The seagulls have returned
and soon the sea will follow.
No time for past regrets,
just hope you have
some semblance of a plan.
If your life,
is ramshackle,
unmaintained
and looked askance,
then I
am not the one
you will look to
for comfort;
I am the harbinger.
What if you had
only days,
only hours,
only minutes,
to try to save your skin?
Let m tell you this;
if you’ve spent your life
wasting days,
hours,
minutes,
then you don’t stand a chance,
I’m afraid.
Is that star getting brighter?
Did I just feel a drop of rain?
Is that a lump,
or just some swelling?
Does all this look
like Death again?
You know it,
and I know it’s in you.
Survival instinct in your brain.
I’m here now to sit and tell you;
you don’t even have today.
All you have is this moment.
The clock is ticking,
the end,
it comes.
Got to make a change.
Make it hard
and make it worth it.
Got to start today.
Before you can see the ocean,
glorious tidal wave,
coming for us,
it’s all over.
I hope you’ve done something.
To make this worth it.
To make this better.
This is the moment,
while we’re together;
try just for today.
HG – 2019
