DOWNSHIFTING DURING DESCENT

Even climbing down,
my views around me,
show spectacular,
new found perspectives.
Almost like the ones,
I saw climbing up.
 

There’s a time in life,
I start to downshift,
reprioritize,
what is best for me,
how I spend my time,
what matters in life.
 

It’s not the money,
it’s not the title,
it’s not all about,
competitiveness,
nor the quantity. 

but the quality.

 

It’s about doing, 

enjoying simple,
pleasures to indulge.
Take life’s joys offered,
like quality friends,
or self-confidence 

trying something new.
 

Most importantly,
finding my balance,
in all that I do,
making moments count,
create memories, 

and cherish gone days.
 

Accept my life’s past,
with not a regret,
handle my present,
with full confidence,
knowing I lived life,
fully on my terms.
 

When tomorrow comes,
I’ll face my future
without any fear,
not knowing when or
if the sun will set
on my final day.
