The First Overtures of Finality
Copyrights Reserved© LeX Productions 2005
Undeniably, we are
In constant preoccupation
With the temporal things of life
And its minute idiosyncrasies
But amidst innocuous exuberance
We fail to recognize life's limitations
Every day, every minute, every moment
The hourglass remains firmly overturned
Perhaps it is only when
We stare death in all its inevitability
With things coming into sharp focus
Like never before
Time remains but a precarious asset
Or a ravaging liability
Life is but a matter
Of how we treasure the minutes
And the seconds
