No 2030 or 2040 pledges today, just a poem for reflection on this 52nd Earth Day.
Life is the simple thing we neglect every day. A day contains the time as we travel on our way. Time is the thing we lack in our lives. As we yearn to find our way through this phenomenon called life. We grow old in wisdom, yet are fragile in youth. We cannot escape the perils that seeks us with each move. We can embrace the seconds that the clock has, Or be the pawn forced by the master’s perilous hand.
