NaPoWriMo 2025 Day 12: How to Stay When You Aren’t Staying

Posted on April 13, 2025May 18, 2025 By Roynald MacRoss

How to Stay When You Aren’t Staying

The second we’re born, the hour is late.
We must leave soon—yet we saturate
our brief visit with bile and hate.
Dandelion, daffodil,
and forsythia conspire to fill
today with joyous thrill.
Accept their hospitality
with kindness and humility.
Life is not our property,
and we’ll not thrive as vicious pests.
No wealthy host will be impressed.
There are only other guests.
