River bank
Life’s roads are shorter than we ever know,
Blink of an eye — and years are gone, they flow.
Tell me, O man, why pride you proudly show?
Your final place is just two spans below.
Life is a shore — a shore with no sea,
Don’t lose yourself where waves should be.
Don’t waste the meaning time hands free,
This moment’s gold — don’t let it flee.
You blink once more — your youth is gone,
You turn around — those wild days won’t respond.
Don’t wait for sweet words from every tongue,
Don’t be a shore where no waves come.
Life moves fast, it never slows,
Like ticking hands that chase and close.
Know this truth before it’s flown:
Don’t live like land where no seas moan.
