#moping
How do you react
But with utter sadness
And sorrow when
You're given a time frame?
When there's a time stamp
On your life as you know it,
How do you act around
Your family and friends?
Do you spend the six weeks
That you've got left,
Moping and sulking,
Or making the most of every moment?
It's hard to focus on success
When you know the ultimate reality
That you're being faced with,
And quite frankly, it *****
Your life went from whatever
Normal may be for you,
To living every moment
On a severely impairing time crunch.
Six weeks, seven at best,
But regardless, it's not enough time.
You need time to cope,
Time to heal mentally.
You need time,
But that's the one thing you don't have.

A glass of wine, a rainy evening…
The window’s wide open, the candles blink.
The wind is trying to put them out.
Silence fills her. No need to think.
She feels good, and no need to hurry.
Tears of heaven delight the ear.
She has no friends. She has no girlfriends.
And only her cat is always near.
She is contented with her aloneness.
There’s no fluster or moping at all.
She’s pleased with herself and she is honest
With her own conscience and with her soul.
She doesn’t want any loving thrills,
No worrying, no passions, no needless doubts.
All is got over. Nothing remains.
Enough as it were so many fouls.
The wine is drunk. The evening is chilly.
The window’s wide open. The candles went out.
She calmly goes to pure bedroom.
No need to hurry. And all is out.
