Let life breathe

Cos eventually
no matter the memories attached
the promises professed
the reasons upheld
the words underplayed,
the road does fork.

And you stand there
take a moment
let a tear or two trickle by while they still can
gulp down the unsaid
cut loose the string of hope binding the unheard
take down a few shots
to not contemplate a way out
but enjoy getting lost in the dream maze.

Chances we take, we give
to life, to self, to time
die this once to live again
cry this last to smile again
let go to hold on to something again
a hand, a heart, a hope
or maybe it's finally the day
when you pick that microphone
sing so the world listens
while the karaoke is still on
while the moment is still yours
smile in farewell to what was
welcoming what is, will be
Let life breathe.

Well, this is life. Our destiny is governed by the choices we take, the roads we travel.
And for each road untraveled, there may be regrets at first - it may take some time to make peace with your choice. But it'll get there, eventually.

And you just talked all about life. and with such an ease!

"while the karaoke is still on
while the moment is still yours
smile in farewell to what was
welcoming what is, will be
Let life breathe."

And I sighed! And I smiled! WOW, the only word that escapes from heart, read not lips, heart, for you render me speechless. :)
Love you!
