Life is like a book

Full of twists and turns

Characters come and go

Some so important,

They remain throughout the entire plot

You can't peek ahead, it ruins the story

But if you keep looking back,

You will never finish it

Each chapter can leave you awake all night

Details and story lines swirling around in your head

The pages whisper to you, seductive and inviting

Asking you to keep reading

But you can't rush it, or else you finish too soon

You need to, occasionally, just sit back

Let it all sink in

Allow the words to lull you to sleep

So you can wake another day and read on

Read and enjoy each passing page

Let those people come and go

Tolerate those others remaining

If only barely

Read on until, one day, you finish

And close the book of you life

And wait until you can begin again
