Let go of the week

Let go of the work

And find yourself alone

Free of judgement

 

An epiphany of reflection

Mostly self-serving deflections

Letting go of the glow of self

Shallow pools, which you’re full

 

Don’t let your life dim

With talk of eternity

Time loses all meaning

That’s your freedom to fuck-up

 

Why me, you ask?

Why not, me?

You could spend an eternity talking about eternity only to discover that you're excluded from it.

Free your mind and the rest will follow.

'Don't let your life dim'

"An epiphany of reflection" - I really like this line. I get exactly what you mean about making the most of time and don't end up full of regret by wasting it. Very nicely done and well said, CM

 

['Mostly self-serving deflections' - I thought this might be a reference to McGinn's goal v Haiti until I read the rest]

Turlough, it's an old joke, you can spend eternity in the toilet and are increasingly likely to when there's somebody waiting outside. Thanks for reading (as always) insert. Marindina, McGinn and the Scotland boys were completely and utterly shite. Obviously, a toilet fixation here.

Why/why not? No answers to it, but please, don't let anything dim.

I wish you wrote more poetry. I love this, the beauty found when the tide goes out in the afternoon in Summer, and there's so much light. Memories like looking into rock pools. Forget reflection and see light .
As Airy says, please don't let anything dim
