Cadenced Future

 Cadenced Future
 
 
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? Forget-me-not to oft play
 
For thou shall pass this way by here but once never to return
Cast aside material; respect-love a simple deserved discern
 
Usurp not grandeur-pride elite wrapped in 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 obfuscated untrue sighr
 
For I dared dance love through life refuse respect any demon false
Moment-embraced perceived passion-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 life must contemplate
Then, past; now, here; such cadenced future for not one be ever late
 
Amen!
