Realization
As light dances red to horizon's end
So do we while approaching last breath
To complete life's arc with its final bend
and contemplate stillness in silent death
How quickly we'll flee from our past design
Find order in reflections we ponder
and struggle with our memory's decline
To lose direction, begin to wander
How fleeting our journey across its space
Through life's brambled meadows of colored days
With smaller shadows and vanishing trace
We cling to days fading of lighter grays
How slow is understanding of our plight
How cold journey's end through darkness and light
