Decimal Points

One minute here, hearsay the next,

Two minutes: paradise expects.

Third minute: second thoughts await

Fourth minute explanations late.

Fifth minute weighs past ghast, selects

Sixth sense intuitive, elects

Seventh heaven to anticipate

Eighth step towards tomorrow's fate.

Ninth minute choice and chance connects

To tenth, upon return reflects.

 

Author notes

challenge:
1. Die for 10 minutes.
2. Let the thought of demise mold you.
3. Wrap yourself as a gift of experience through poetry.

    Nicely done. I had to really think about this as I read it to keep the focus for some reason. Maybe I was trying to think ahead too much. Anyway, I liked this. Pen on...~Poo~
