Pause and replay


Pushing the pause button,

Looking around in awe.

Life is just passing us by,

And what do we have to show?

***

Mindless chatter, silly blabber,

Things that don't mean a thing.

Sometimes life is quite the opposite,

Of what your mind leads you to think.

***

Running around,

Earning your keeps,

Spending it away,

What's there to reap.

***

Making your moves,

calculating the gains.

Another chess piece,

On life's board game.

***

Is that all there is to see?

Is that all we have to do?

***

Maybe life’s just that,

a game of chance,

Toss the deice,

And hope it will go your way.
