SOBER REFLECTIONS #InspirationalPoetry

Looking through the window I see the falling rain,
Torrents of muddy water gushing down the drain,
My mind' sobered up travelling down memory lane,
Issues of the past,bringing thoughts of joy and pain.

'tis so amazing how time rushes by,
Ticking calmly away for both the honest and the sly,
Looking back I see many bonnie years gone by,
Back then it seemed old age wasn't so nigh.

Tick,tick goes the clock so says the nursery rhyme,
The focus is to aim and get fulfillment in our prime,
Sure thing that can never wait for you is tide and time,
Players end reward is as the taste of a lime!

The world is in  a rapid roll away,
Nothing in it was meant to permanently stay,
When the sun shines is the best time to make hay,
Accomplishment should be our prize when we are old and grey.

Each day should be lived as if it's the very last,
Cause no one knows the time or hour the die will be cast,
One can't tell for certain how or when the trumpet will blast,
Righteousness and watchfulness should be your utmost fast.

Becoming old and grey is but a privilege,
Many are gone too soon even whilst in college,
Ingratitude of life is but a sacrilege,
Indulgence in it causes an outright renege!

Oftentimes I've wondered about life eternal,
 This so-called world is simply vainly temporal,
Those this thought don't ponder are so grossly natural,
Truth is the real existence is found in the Spiritual!

 Just as the earth sucks in the falling raindrops,
Sobriety keeps your mind connected to the top,
Carelessness as an attitude will lead you to a slop,
Its chief aim is to turn its victims into a mop!

Escapists try to live their lives solely on a high,
But reality is a realm we simply can't deny,
You can't outrun it no matter hard you try,
Facing up to it will make you gain a colored sky...
