When The Fall-Out Settles

When The Fall-Out Settles

When the fall-out settles
Who will want to remember, all the Old Battles

Who will want to remember,
All the Glorious wins and scores,
The crushing defeats and despairing draws?

When the fall-out settles
Who will want to remember, the exact details
Of all, that was said and done,
The wasted time, that’s gone,
And remain consumed, by that yet to come?

When the fall-out settles
Who will want to remember, the reason,
For holding all those silly, lapsed grudges
And the origin, for the inflamed retaliation,
Behind all the futile, pushing and shoving?

When the fall-out settles
What will be remembered, with want,
Is all that actually, really mattered
Time spent doing things, well-meant,
With others and in places, worth-knowing

Engaged in the full-moment
Giving instead of taking

Listening instead of talking
Being instead of wanting

When the fall-out, finally settles,
Let’s just hope, it’s not all too late…
