once
upon a time
a life began
but what if
life could last
longer than a time
it’s said a lifetime can
if you knew you’d never die
would you try to end your life
or would you just die to learn
the way to live, the way to love
give, forget time, forgive
forget, forgive, give
give love, live
you’d then discover
life much longer
than the life
that began
upon a time
once
elegant…

A great and thought-provoking poem – I am just dying “to learn the way to live..” so if you know, please let me know the secret! lol xx
I don’t proclaim to know! I just live the best life I can…. 🙂
Sounds like the only way possible really! 😉

Thank you, and thanks for visiting my blog. 🙂
mmm…yeah, hopefully we dont have to die to learn that…but it is a much sweeter life…
“dying to learn” as an expression of great desire… no, I wouldn’t want anyone to die literally unless it was their moment… 🙂
Very beautiful..
I loved how you began n ended with “once upon a time”.. Very poignant!
A lovely thought indeed.. hugs xx
