No Half Measures

Life is full of choices and compromises. It is, however, very important to accept that you can't walk alone always. There are moments when you need to hold hands with the people you love and who love you. The rest of the time is yours to live fully. The definition of a full life? There are as many as there are stars in the sky!

Life had a dream for us

but has she her promise kept?

Her path strewn with thorns

and she has failed us so.

I’d rather die than live a life

of efforts of half measure,

But is it for us to pick and choose

a life of lucid dreams?

Another life, another time

that’s the promise given,

but how can I trust and comply

when this too precious to set free?

Walk along with me,

stay close and hold my hand,

Let us wander among the star

our paths littered with stardust.

But on earth this life must live

till we have enough in time,

Measures of joy and sorrow

our cups burst forth to spill.

Stay and smile, grin and bear

stay close and hold my hand

Our promise is for good

for only in death do we part.
