Lifetime
Long life
the quest goes on
never known, never found
yet the search is perennial
lifelong.
naive
or gullible
always craving, yearning
the unattainable, for what’s
not his
is this
the only life
or another life waits
hell, heaven or resurrection
god knows
the end
if predestined
why do we stress and strain
why not be merry and content
and die
Relish
your given time
celebrate, acknowledge
salute and commemorate with
Gusto!
