Some choose spears,
Some choose shields.
You watch them choosing
As if time is standing still.
Some chase giants,
Some chase ghosts.
You watch them chasing
As if eternity is standing still.
As wind turns fragile,
And tides grow old,
The choosing and the chasing go on and on,
The star of yours is standing still.

Isn't life about making choices? Or about what we do with the moments we have in front of us? This gave me pause...a few "hmmm's" if you will. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for your comment.
Yes, life is indeed about making choices and pursuing goals, it's just that the ones who can take their time to do these things and hold an equable and easygoing attitude towards life often impress me very much.
Have a poetic Sunday!
