STILL

When is the right time,
To love,
To die?

When you love;
Is that the right one,
The one?

When you die;
Is that the right time,
to let go,
to say goodbye?

Yet,
I still want to live!

There are things I want to do:
Mountains more to climb,
Valleys to walk through,
Rivers to swim.

I haven't looked across the seas,
and saw the final rainbow,
I haven't yet looked at the night skies,
to count the stars.

My heart's desires,
Forever left me grasping.

Still...
