Life And Time

Life is short as stated in adage of untimely demise

I differ against which is typically concurred but a lie

I assert, life's griefs settle felt hastened pace of time

Never felt as if there was such a brevity to our lives

Dwells of death and frailty stake this claim in mind

Forward, the sole direction that time's granted mortal kind

The present, so desired, such is blessing as name implies

Futures to aspire, misty yet may bear clearer skies

Death, thought dire, may not heinously prey as surmised

Urge this thought, that one may wait to live rather than die

Since birth, winds christened lungs with scarcely ever a delay

Heart surges consistent with blood, so in weighing yesterdays,

For our actions made when young, we may pay til old and gray.
