Big Red Poetry Bus

thanks, Eejit, for today's poetry prompt, which is to describe one's Philosophy of Life/Afterlife/Everything.
Alright....
That's either a novel in 8 volumes, or something really really short.

So says I

Here
Now
Real
All you can be
(without joining the military)
no tomorrow
....my life
....ends with my life
so I have to do it here
be here
love now
make a difference now
Dreams are not for later
Dust is dust
....Stardust perhaps
....but dust
Go as far as you can go
Because the end of the road is the end
and after that is just peaceful, well-earned sleep.
.
.
And with that the Poetry Bus can go careening down the road to the next stop. Jump on!
