Now but afternoon
In a lifetime destiny,
Whenever too soon
A morrow’s apathy,
Be angling the room
Ignoring life’s brevity,
Indifferent to gloom
Invading one’s sanity!

A reflection on life, ever fleeting…
In the wake of an adversary,
also known as annual anniversary…

Not for a life time
But of time alive,
Fate holds be mine
To explore demise,
As nature’s design
Of erudition drive,
For a human assign
In a complex devise,
Be suspect durability
That we want define,
Ceding be its brevity
Ought facilitate mind,
For its one only life
In a scant fix of time,
Has man ever puzzling
Till he realized best not find,
He was born to indeterminate end
With longevity be as fate so inclines!

Every season
In nature’s bent,
Finds purpose
For renewal,
That celebrates
Each wont advent
Not as infinity’s rival
But a cycle of revival…
Yet we creatures
Suffer brevity
Of a single stay,
A hoped-for reach
Though time decreed
Life be held brief,
And so ephemeral
Deemed beg amend
Wouldst be in vain,
To imitate seasons
That never fully fade,
Thus likely reason
Life then returns again!
