John Trainor

Lighten up

You cannot live your life in fear!
Each moment missed as looking here, and there, for danger.
You watch your step; diet; drinking.
Mind your manners; Ps and Qs.
Wakeful worry of what might or might not be.
What cannot be altered, except again and again in the mind’s eye as each replay adjusts the worry focus of your existence.
Life!
Live!
Life!

(2012)
