Life’s Measure
Deity exhales
Dust spills and breathes a new life
Spinning into light
Joy, love, innocence
Carefree days of youth divine
Mere child’s glimpse of time
Evolving through years
Life’s measure is full and fast
Will it end or last?
Fate takes aim and curves
The years melt away like snow
A sun’s fading glow
Empty cages fill
The haunted halls of our souls
Regret is tenfold
