Life Borrowed

Life Borrowed

A Poem by Pule Leeuw
"

My truth, my fears, my life on Saturday (04-04-2015)

"

All I heard is 2 shorts, weather was said or heard I know it was 2 shots.

Did he yell “Stop �" Freeze �" Don’t Move”?; Still remained 2 shots.

Ordered singles or doubles, still recalled as 2 shots.

My breath shorter and shorter, my mind suggests its 2 shots.

Distance gained Further was Farther, Brain yelling 2 shots.

Body consumed by shivers, thoughts proposes its 2 shots.

Ideas weakened by whimpers, heart beat hastened by 2 shots.

Adrenaline spawn by his child’s birth, Emotions communicates 2 shots.

Knowledge is meant to be power “what have I learned?”, Education taught 2 shots.

Cling to Life or surrender to death, heaven or earth gift defines 2 shots.

When you finally fall into that soft light, it doesn’t matter if bright or dull;

light is and always will be life.
