Never Say Never

Hour 1, Prompt 9, Year 2021

Never say never
Because you know not what tomorrow brings
Because this may be the last time you can see someone
Or the last time you can visit a place

Never say never
Because tomorrow may be the end of our everyday
Of mornings, of nights, of beautiful sights
Of movement, of diversity, of life itself

Never say never
Because 250 million years ago, dinosaurs, not humans, ruled the world
Until one day, they were brought to their knees
While earth, space, and universe plowed on

So never say never, and live in the moment
Because time is a beast of its own
It compresses and shifts and upturns with no warning
Changing our world in unimaginable ways
