Life Is Brevity

Posted on 17th Sep 2020 by rohit kumar

Life's brevity, so bittersweet,

depends upon just one heartbeat.

Brief as dusk and swift as dawn,

twilight hour has come and gone.

 

Like waves that kiss a sandy shore,

returning to the ocean floor,

and brilliant stars that streak the sky,

must bid the universe goodbye,

 

and so it is with you and I,

and so it is with you and me.

So, play in waves that kiss the shore.

Enjoy the twilight hours more,

 

and wish upon the stars that shine,

for only now is yours and mine,

and so it is with you and I

till this brief life, we bid goodbye!
