The Beauty of Second Chances

The Beauty of Second Chances

You’re totally exquisite! Yes indeed!
Have you forgotten in the midst of uncertainty?
As if living unleashes normality and end
At one point you might go on and pretend
Neither do a decease to half-life will lend

Facing demise in the present upheaval
At time of vague realities and vain swears
Severe inquisition of when it will all end?
But let me live for just the moment intend

I may go too early as it still remains unknown
Be ready! Optimistic view in an angle of ninety
Saying goodbye won’t save this haste
Better yet leave a mark of your smile in stain

Is it really important to leave a legacy?
Let the people know and shout it in despair
This name written in a sepulcher’s art
Remains of a vigorous existence in a loop of infinity

Now as I felt a call from where my end bounds
One thing I’ve comprehended divine in awe
Proof of once value is not about being prominent 
From where the pathway of your footsteps are
But being deeply loved and remain alive
In even a few hearts that grieve
