Destiny's Final Reminder

How the compass of time gradually deceives their seasons growing cold-- Redhead locks and manly hair transform into gray pepper gray That in the bites of winter hard and arrogant, night's joy ebb As a couple succumb to a matrimony of discontent and burden, stale-- Forgetting a destiny's pledge sacred which could affirm contain A lifetime supposedly wrapped in rosy twilight … its final. jubilant glides . No, one hour’s delay can stall the rapture of new ventures. The woman asks, "Shall we , for better or worse, dance the moon with hearts aflame like before?" 6/27/2018 Contest of Silent One: Eight Lines Of Fate, When You Wonder If It Is Too Late

Ahh, I love reading this poem of yours, especially the last line, yeah life is way too short to just worry about problems, weight, stress, enjoy it to it's fullest, every single small moment can be enjoyed and the best thing is that in order to enjoy life or to live happily you don't require money, just some beloved peoples to stay with you forever, good luck in the contest and have a nice day

Our clocks are wound.. only so much time do we possess and it may run out before we think or without notice. No time to major on minors. In fact, every moment is a good time to dance the moon, shall we?!?!

Sometimes, when the moon is really bright, I dance with my moon shadow. Does that count? The gray, the wrinkles, the sore aching joints, welcome to old age! Great write, nette!
