“The Give and The Take”
By Ashley O’Hare
The give and the take.
The gift of life’s greatest desires
before your mind is capable of appreciating.
Those desires burning out; expiring
the exact moment wisdom is bestowed upon you.
You realize the magnitude of the blessing
just in time to watch it get stripped away.
The give and the take.
They fall too soon,
but you fall too late.
The give and the take.
You step out of your comfort zone
and take a leap of faith,
blind to what is at stake;
what will fade away.
The give and the take.
