Lessons

Some lessons can only be learned once

The more costly the watch the freer the time

The louder the song the looser the rhyme

 

Turn on the light half the world’s dark

Smell the gas we see with a spark

Life in a bubble called atmosphere

Poking holes without a care

 

Drink deep from fragile stemmed glass

Candlelit dreams with time to pass

 

To guess and be wrong a zero gain bet

The higher the proof the more wrong we get

To prove the proof a wasted equation

Pens against bombs can never be won

 

Words in the air unheard over fuss

Numbers on paper not to discuss

 

Lessons of life shared by all; never stand, never fall

Never swim, never sink, never thirst, never drink

Always bright much unseen, blind to details in-between

Never laugh, never weep, never dive unless it’s deep

 

Never leap in the melting caps ice

A lesson we can never learn twice

The End
