Re: Form of the week: Brady's Touch


Now or Never


Day after day, my world feels narrow;
night after night, the present ticks by.
Impossible to go back now.
I see my time is running out.
It’s late.

I tell myself, “Fly like a sparrow!
Don’t analyze the when, where, or why.”
My will is weak, and I can’t move.
I search for grit and want to shout,
“Don’t wait!”
