Dear Self,
Thou hast become a greater fool
Than years past
Full of light and glory; grasped
Love of jewels
Bought with wisdom, now forsaken
For wishes.
Extend your frosty kisses
Not just taken.
Not just gone.
Not just lost.
Fool, this river's crossed.
Repent the foolish road you're on.
And take up battles you may win
Not those you'll lose
It's time now, choose:
Make haste and change the life you're in.
postscript
I guess I will do DFC again. I may have to only write a few this week, since this is finals week for my first semester as a grad student. I really need to be writing a paper right now.... if you haven't decided to do DFC, decide now! It's great practice. Today's form: an Epistle.
