hangin by a thread

hanging by a thread
waiting for time

a bud
a full bloom
then done
i fall off

I fear not
I have had
my time
my glory
proud and beautiful
my prime
peaked and admired

I regret not
not a minute
cut short
robbed
unfulfilled

to have had
this time
my moment
to share
to contribute
a life
to participate

to have had
this time
to enjoy
while it lasts
as i breathe my last
as i sense my time
approaching
its end

I live
hence I do not mind
this time of waiting
for release
to be free
of the threads
to life

hanging by a thread
waiting for time
