Joke

Success measured, gained
Brought things. Thoughts,
Places of dreams.
Wealth settled for instead
Of What-might-have-been,
Peace forsaken by
Windswept momentary joy.
Thrilling time slides
Brutally by and scars
those caught in flow
and wake.
We sigh, in lapse
of essence. Breaks in trauma.
Seek no attainment, won't be had!
Journeying, can't stop/look back.
Past gone, future foregone,
Regret nothing, but sorrow all.
Dying to rise, yet living to fall.
