Five minutes
on the snooze bar
blinks by

five minutes
of early morning prayer
is my investment

five minutes
of trying to hold back
an orgasm
so I don't
come too fast
causes a headache

but five minutes
of laughing with my
daughter
is medicinal

and I hope the
last five minutes of my life
will come as
a complete surprise

if I could hold
the red on the horizon
for another five minutes

if I had only
reconsidered
each one of my
mistakes
for another five
minutes

five minutes of pleading
could’ve changed
a fatal decision

what I could do
with five minutes
if I didn’t devalue them

if I didn’t get
12 of them
each hour

if this is my last
five minutes
look at how I chose
to spend it

now
I’ll just breathe
and be grateful for
my five minutes



oops
there goes another one.

Another excellent one, Buddah. Hmm...living in the moment: so simple but so hard! Sigh...

Excellent and insightful as always! Your talent is appreciated

Thanks. Joyful and soothing. It reminds me as in "American Beauty" that our last moment may last an eternity.
