Cadence - 2. Chapter 2

What in this world is more our own

Than the moment we die?

For what may we truly call ours

If not that last breath’s sigh.

 

From instant unto instant we

For stranger or a friend

Will find a missing lamb or coin,

A mystery to end;

 

One lost from common currency

Hardly betters our lives,

While sheep or friends, gone and wayward,

Care not if our soul thrives.

 

Still other eyes and ears search out

Those instants most serene

Of quiet contemplation when

No pressures may be seen

 

And we may turn our gaze inward

To see if fear is there

As we approach that final breath

In throes of calm despair.

 

So would I clasp your hand in mine

When moments grow too few

For confidences, jests or songs

Shared when our world was new.



This was a poem we wrote together.
