Sooner Or Later

Posted On November 20, 2013

Some fine morning
Some fine day
All of us will come to
A parting of the way,
Born for by and by
The cruising of due season
Quick shortness of our living
Unravelling of reason,
Nonchalant risk of nuance
With no space to spare
Self abandoned to time’s shelf
Before we’re quite aware,
Some of these days
With a whisper of awhile
One of these days
Like the flashing of a smile,
Whenever – wherever
As determined by Creator
Terminated tenure
Sooner come … or later!
