ON DEATH - Time Got You Again

ON DEATH

Time Got You Again

Time got you roused again-

another exhilarating day has come to an end.

All that can be done is dwell on the moments that just passed,

you dined, you danced, you kissed; the day was everlasting.

But the memory soon fades,

Dissipating like water in sunrays.

In the interim, you contemplate another memorable time to emulate.

What is; now becomes what was.

Gage the future, but live for the present.

Time got you roused again.

Sorrowfully, the spirit of a loved one has transcended

to an alternative tenure of time.

You revered their earthly days,

wept and prayed.

Only if you dedicated more moments when they were alive.

There they go, here you are.

Time can never be controlled

Let it be

Let it be ordained.

Time is the controller of all,

so live each moment fruitfully

as if today is tomorrow.
