Calendar Girl

Dreamt that I was dying, as I so often do.
And when I awoke I was sure it was true.
Ran to the window, threw my head up to the sky
And said Whoever is up there, please don't let me die.
But I can't live forever, I can't always be
One day I'll be set on a beach by the sea
The pages keep turning, I'll mark off each day with a cross
And I'll laugh at all that we've lost.

~ 'Calendar Girls' by Stars

There's something morbidly intriguing about these lyrics..something
that I've never been able to shake off.

It's the feeling of knowing life seeping thru my fingers every
minute..it's the thought of what am I doing with the escaping sands of
time that consumes my mind.

It's the nostalgic understanding of dreamin of death, and waking up
believing I've died.

It's that insistent tuggings at my inner being telling me - Dont
follow the ways of the world. I have only one life to live.

We can't live forever. If we can comprehend our mortality, perhaps we
would be more powerful.
