A Poem: Now or Never

Maybe this is a good one to start with because it's how I'm feeling about the poetry reading - to stay and settle would be safer...


Now or Never

Maybe it’s now or never

Time to experience the exotic

To stay and settle would be safer


I’m ready to go and discover

Away from running hectic

Maybe it’s now or never


There are ties I don’t want to sever

Relationships that aren’t episodic

To stay and settle would be safer


Time is a fickle lover

Don’t want to leave out of panic

Maybe it’s now or never


Growing older dreams grown over

What is this need to hover?

To stay and settle would be safer


What makes youth run for cover

And hide in the dark feeling sick?

Maybe it’s now or never

To stay and settle would be safer.
