Sip your coffee silently

 Sip your coffee silently

And savour the moment.

It won't return .

Turn your life upside down

If you must 

Or inside out

If that's what you prefer.

But

Don't sit morose

And fade away

In your prison of gold 

That you've been placed in.

Stop being so gloomy.

A bright new day beckons.

It's there for the asking- 

Yours for the taking. 

So reach out 

And claim what's rightfully yours

Wake up and smell the roses

And put the ennui aside

It's just not you 

Start living the life you know

You deserve 

And don't leave it

For too late either.

For all you know,

It's not gold 

In the first place! 

And even if it is- 

You can't take it with you.
