Fall

She tripped and fell
going too fast
not watching her step
she went pell mell
into stop

To heed the call
Of sirens or beauty...
All pretty choices...
To want them all
Is a trap

Over-living is greed for life
Choosing the one
is to de-select a thousand other options

She who hesitates
at least avoids
the pain of choice

To choose a worthy life
Is risky
