All I Have

All I Have

 

Sounds everywhere notice me as they pass by

Winds that elude my grasp, why would I try

On the wheel of time, this body is truly not mine

Where it slowly degrades to decline helplessly 

I will amass much for an entire lifetime

Only to unwillingly leave it all to time

This breath while here to keep me warm

In time will soon get tired, elderly worn 

As I rest my hope from weary years 

In the eyes of joy now filled with tears 

Reassured, I am through an aging voice 

The one thing I truly have is choice

Chris G Peters were born on the most southerly gem in the necklace of islands spanning the Caribbean Sea. Here where the sun shines differently and set as though kissing the horizon, where coral reefs blooms, surf greets the sand, musical rendition of waves pounding the shore. A salty mist is in the air and the verdant beauty of nature abounds everywhere. Learn more.
