from sunrise to sunset,
successively savoring delectable moments
and weathering detestable ones,
hoping some glorious past
will once again come to pass.
The goal of life is not merely to survive
but to love what we do,
to flourish and thrive,
as we boldly trek back beyond the backside of life’s beyond
to become one with our noon’s vibrant wilderness.
And when our individual dusk draws imminent,
when we no longer respire but expire,
we bequeath to Mother Earth our body’s nutrients
but not our soul’s essence,
for it remains glorified by those people and things
which we have uniquely touched,
and thus, we cause
Eternity to become ours.
