Life, a Fiesta

by: Ronel L. Alijado

What if you have only one day to live?

I suggest:

Go to a forest.

Sing with birds.

Talk with the animals.

Climb the trees and eat their fruits.

Smell the flowers and touch their petals.

Go to a sea.

Swim.

Look at the fish at the plants and at the corals.

Sail.

Let the winds bring you to an island.

There, you eat, drink, and dance.

Before you leave, go home.

Hug and kiss your family and friends.

Do these.

When the time is near, gaze at the sky.

Do it even how hard it is.

You inhale.

Then make your last exhalation and day.

The end defines life.

Living is feasting.

It should be.
