abnormal and now late
he used to get over excited
it seemed
unreal, they thought
how can someone get that worked up
and super excited
over little things
and be considered a normal human being
crazy he must be
they felt
so they ignored him
and went for the normal looking one
who would utter outrages at random
his cherishing
which seemed extreme
hence odd
was his normal
little did they know
that
he lived
breathed
art
no
not an artist
but an art lover
hence his magnified sensitivity
anyways
he always seemed
in a rush
in a hurry
or in other words
lived fast
and as some said
little impatient
it wasn't his impatience though
it was his normal
the heightened sensitivity
of time
for he knew
it ain't gonna last
and it is coming up
fast
by the time they figured
out
that yes
he truly was ordinary
and normal
and nothing much to it
his time
unfortunately
was up
the time
'tween the drop
leaving the eye
and hitting the ground
was his longest [moment]
all he ever wanted was
to live to the fullest
and
appreciate
relish
cherish
every moment
of consciousness
in life
'twas a rarity
that he'd be late
for anything
yet now
he too
was counted
amongst the late
such is fate

I like the life lessons here. One's normal is not normal for everyone else. We shouldn't judge and let others be themselves.

The quietness of strength found amongst the rubble of vulnerability. Many depths peeking through your words. The undertone whispers
of melancholy. I love the resolve of what will be will be if only before time runs out. Love the thoughts being provoked by your write C_F_ Much love and mad mad respect,

welcome
is the review and insight deep!
yes..you figured it out right my friend..
keen your insight re the undertone's melancholic whisper.
someone's normal is
sometimes hard to accept
for it is rare
and hence appears not normal
i.e. something not usual does not make it
abnormal
but again..such is fate, and stuff happens
people miss out and perhaps that is what the destiny
had in store.
welcome
once again
is the peer's presence
and deep insight!
appreciation
beyond words!

I've always heard that about myself, I'm always in a hurry never wanting to waste time, we only get so long and we never know when our time is up. Love this piece and the expressions therein. Always love your style, brother.

i get it dear brother, people use judgements for it is easy to understand and explain to themselves using them prejudices and judgements. However truth often is much more than what meets the eye.
Perhaps in your case, the judgement also includes/takes into account your age- as they say young and the restless etc... :-)
glad the scribble appealed to you dear Poet admired!! humbled is what i am for that.

This all kinds of fantastic
And so accurate it's scary
Especially, to a procrastinator like myself

had missed some of ur reads of late dear poet...but had read this one earlier that was pressing heavy for reasons unknown yet known in the depths..ur simplistic lucidity of words in bringing the essence ~emotions to the fore shine in ur delivery with such ease that's not possible by many..
this piece made me cherish the rarity gems of eternity subject hold inspite of the wavering eyes & time & watnot set up bars of their convenience ...beautifully digging piece this one!
write one more..

Welcome
Dear Artist Admired!!
no my friend... you have not missed much at all.. and besides here i am and my scribbles, at home. though my presence may not be permanent here, but rest assured my friend, my scribbles will be. for that is all i will be leaving behind for my near ones here! I have been lucky enough to have been honored many million times over. it is in fact unbelievable and quite humbling as well!! to get the gifts of generosity, kindness,affection and love i have here! is simply beyond my wildest dreams.
All i did was share my scribbles. nothing more, nothing less and nothing else!
welcome always beyond words
is the presence of yours as well as your kind and generous reviews!
again your insight has left me speechless dear Artist!!
humbled utterly so!!
