Sitting To Embrace Life
Time can end my human presence
By mocking life's mortality.
His ferocious hand is a thief,
That I look for eternity .
For such dominance lays me bare
Like a knife ready to lunge pain-
Choke my thirst, devour me there
A raging river, without a damn.
Nature sits alone ; she brings me joy
While ticks of fast clock snuffs fine things-
Yet I'll fly on through season's rides,
Before time rakes all of love's wings.
