Move on
It’s but one turn,
In your thin skin
Of time,
Make room
Tho you may think
You are immune,
With feelings young,
Enough to change
With each full moon…
Your nature
To take risk
Back then be fine,
When a near miss
Be akin to easy kiss,
Save but life now
Holds near the winter
Of your seasons,
Calls for reason…
So think ahead
The while you find
To keep your head,
For quite likely
You’ve feelings
Of good stead,
Those left behind
Yet far from dead,
Though well ahead,
Of held thin skin of time!
Poetry on a Canapé 
Good advice to think ahead … of risk.
There have been a few times I failed to take that good advice. But haven’t we all, I like to believe. Jean-Jacques
I especially like the symbolism – “Of that thin skin of time.” So very true! Humanity seeks many rewards, yet very few consider the risks that come with them.
Thank you for that interpretation Rebecca. I particularly enjoy and appreciate when a poem of mine is read with an open mind, that sees beyond the lines words may at times impose in spite of the intended freedom. Jean-Jacques
