A Totally nameless Poem
Life is short and swift and brief
There and gone in the twinkling of an eye
It leaves us nothing but our grief
Twane as moonlight in a starfilled sky
Life is a maze, it twists and bends
Life is a maze, it twists and bends
A dream from which we must awake
Where death is but a quick dead end
An unknown road we all must take
Like the falling of a star
Like the falling of a star
Like the setting of a shining sun
No matter who or what we are
Our death will take us when our day is done
Like the daylight of midwinter
Like the daylight of midwinter
Like a wave upon a sandy shore
Life is but the tiniest of shimmers
A flicker of a moment, nothing more
