Make It Count

There is always one more

until there isn’t.

One more second.

One more minute.

One more moment.

One more kiss.

One more laugh.

One more hour.

One more day.

One more trip.

One more conversation.

One more week.

One more meal.

One more moon.

One more month.

One more dawn.

One more sunrise.

One more year.

One more smile.

One more gentle touch.

One more pillow talk.

One more family reunion.

One more good-bye.

One more hello.

One more century.

One more precession.

One more Big Bang.

One more evolution.

One more extinction.

There is always one more

until there isn’t.

Thus Spoke the Grave Digger

Nietzsche said:

That which does not kill you

only makes you stronger.

This may well be true

for those who have strong wills.

But what he forgot to take into account

is all the people who face an avalanche

and then spend the rest of their days buried alive.

Scott Thomas Outlar
