A lifetime of waiting - a photo by T Newfields
A lifetime of waiting.
What's it all for?
A wedding?
A funeral?
Another birth?
Or chance to shop more?
How many people
are stuck in roles
never wanted?
How many have the courage
to change their scripts
& become less haunted?
Linda:   Most of what we call 'human life' is simply waiting for death.
Ron:   (shaking his head) Why be so morbid! Aren't you tired of such metaphysical nonsense?
Linda:   (after a brief silence) Well, what some call 'nonsense' others call 'neglected truth.'
Lis:   This conversation is idiotic! Why not smell flowers & celebrate life while it lasts?
Lex:   Yeah, we should acknowledge death. However, there is no reason to die prematurely.
