It would be too late

Gently, mist rests upon the green

Early morning sun rays

Sparkle through the curtain gaps

Dazzled my eyes 

A loud buzzing sound, echoing

The slaughter of dreams

Snapped from unconsciousness

Devouring the sense of peace

The endless silence penetrates the atmosphere

Thoughts caught in the air 

Suddenly,

“Thump thump”, “thump thump”

A beating heart 

Captures me back to the present 

A sigh of relief

There is a fine line between life and death 

And it is time   

All things must come to an end 

Even elegant flowers will

Eventually, wither

Death is an 

Unquenchable sequence of life 

A moment in existence 

When every second is treasured.

Raise your eagerness to hear the tick of your clock and then tell me, once it stopped, will you be satisfied with your life?
