Some Sage Poem by M.J. Lemon

Some Sage

Rating: 5.0

Some sage once said
and I cannot recall the name
that good writing is making sure
one is writing with the feeling
one is about to die

that leaves so little time

so what I have left to say will
almost certainly be short
and I can only hope it will be profound

Life is the short flame on the shorter wick. It flickers briefly then out forever, so what we say and what we do must be said with passion and conviction. It is sage advice, art leaves a piece of us when that flame is gone.

'Out out brief candle.' You said it so well, Kevin. When the flame expires, the art remains.

What is deep only can be found by who willing to dive. What is simple cant be seen by any complicated mind. Time is short, but too expensive for those who doesnt realise it. Say it loud M.J. Lemon. Mark your seconds in word form.
