Closing The Circle

Happy endings,

the folly of youth

 

The aged

alone to portend

 

Distance a comfort,

 expiration afar

 

Reality

mostly pretend

 

Death as a concept,

corpse underground

 

As different as night

is to day

 

Two ends of the spectrum,

inextricably linked

 

By time

—ever holding its sway

 

(Rosemont College: October, 2020)
