Dance With All Your Might...

Years end coming quickly now
As years are wont to do…
My inside eye relives the past
In shades of bright and blue.

The universe has handed out
What things it stored for us,
In that great cosmic sense
…All we have is trust.

Looking back with heavy hearts
Sorrow clouding what we find,
Seeking hope for what comes next
Retreading paths…behind.

While death looms in the shadows
To snatch one held quite dear…
A new life waits just in the eves,
Impending birth is near.

There is no way to gage events…
Which haven’t come to pass,
Except to say the future is
More fragile than blown glass.

Hold tight until the days are gone,
Cling fast unto the night…
Don’t live life in a quiet haze,
But dance with all your might.
