Life

A well written book

thoughts seemingly organized

   but actually scattered across.

Pages fly open

         inconveniently

exposing secrets you wish you could keep.


Chapters pass, pages turn

      lingering or flying by

Holding memories of good and bad

the climax, the plot

    Nothing is predictable

except that one thing is coming
                                     The end.
