Cadenced Future

(an offered rhyming-thought)

 

Where defiled-time escapes like magic-dust on a magician’s wand

Revere the been, embrace what is, brave greet new promised dawn

 

Perhaps! Lament challenge-chance wind-swirled mirage of a gone yesterday

Better? Expect! Best? Demand! Important Most? For-get-me-not to oft play

 

For thou shall pass each day by here but once never to return

Cast aside material; respect-love a simple deserved discern

 

Usurp not grandeur-pride elite but drape pure mantle-humble

Courageous journey life-footfall recover errant falter-stumble

 

And, from new light, past high noon sun to dimming dusk-time night

Refuse seductive evil worry-fear, eschew all obfuscated untrue-sight

 

For I dared dance love through life refuse respect any demon false

Moment embraced perceived heart a sensual choreographed waltz

 

And, when Thy call comes as each shall find to be so soon, too quick

Smile-remembered dreams-lived wild, delight sweet savor sugar’s lick

 

A distant drummer calls the beat, yet each contest must contemplate

Then, past; now, here; such cadenced-future for not one be ever-late

 

Amen!
