GROUND ZERO

GROUND ZERO

by Christine Delos Santos Montera

Every beginning will start in zero

Like an empty round as halo

As time passes by

That will be shaded dye.

Hopes were rooted from the ground

And that will be spreading all over around

Several wanting to have it all

But this is much not from a material.

This was once the goal before

And made me realize a nice savor

That thought will be over,

But not until it makes a wonder.

I sit and type about life,

The pages were quite without any strife.

The words seem to get the spirit to fight

Does anyone gets and adhere it right?

Am I not that tough?

That my days were not enough,

Hope to let those seeds to grow

And let my memory go to flow.

So that when I dusted off the trance

And turn it to anew, hence,

If Gods will, it forced will be

Before my breath is through. 

When do we consider that time is very important?

 

When do we consider that time is very important?

‘til you haven’t reached the last trip of the bus;

‘til you haven’t reached the last minute of a last full show in cinema;

‘til you haven’t seen the sunrise or sunset because you are so busy of the deadliest lines;

‘til you never get the restful sleep because you are preoccupied of your graveyard duty;

‘til you’ve been dismissed in the examination test because your exam time is 8:00 a.m. but you came 8:01;

‘til you got second thoughts to say I love you and wasn’t able to express it because the person has already died ;
'til your spouse committed suicide because you're too busy and unknowingly they've been suffering depression;

‘til you haven’t got the chance to see the shooting star because you kept on scrolling your FB newsfeeds;

‘til you haven’t got the chance to hear the story of your 7-year-old daughter about your family picture because you are too busy frolicking around drinking with your friends.

Indeed time is very important. Not all people got a second chance in life. Make the best out of your time and spend it wisely.
