Death Star Illusion

I suppose it is better
to barely be there
than ashes we scatter
to the atmosphere.

Yet how can I hang
on ridiculous truth?

When swept to the carpet
those days from my youth.

Dash away soft
to a new school of fashion.

Here my life sits
snapped slim within ration.

Complain I will not
under barely a whisper.

Was it worth every pain
through each struggle and blister?

Now I am faced with
this death star illusion.

Break map to the pavement
and seek new conclusion.

Or dance into maddening
stars of the night.

Take two for the team
and just give up the fight.

My Poetry, Photography, and Journals hold treasure from grade school to high school to adult school, which I'm still attending ... just waiting for the final grade. Each layer of life reveals a new truth and with age, it becomes apparent that time is my greatest rival. My hope is to reflect with words and pictures that offer comfort, insight, and wisdom for a life well-lived with peace and tranquility in the end.
