“ Life ”
– be but a minute –
The journey starts
Tho moves so fast,
Seems off the chart
As conjectural cast,
Life means impart
On a short tenure,
Found is my part
In fates September,
As I a minute ark,
Will soon surrender
Seen ephemeral part,
May hold remember
A diminutive minute,
Mans unwitting enter
That is to be ones life…
As life be but a minute
Do pardon my rancour,
If you crowd my space
I am short of candour,
As be no time to waste
Nor room for squander,
So I’ve cause to make haste…
In the wake of all to die
As will prized September,
When reality need not hide
Find ye peace in fall’s slumber,
And the minute to live described
Thus as said of life, be but a minute!
