                                            CONVINCED OF ETERNITY

                                             Suddenly, in summer haze

                                             When eyelids laze

                                             And the heartbeat's

                                             Convinced of its eternity,

                                             An artery

                                             Shatters!
                                          
                 
                      .......................................................................................

An adroitly phrased spoil alert for poets, eh?

You hit it on the head! The only thing that makes sense is to cherish the moment. If another one follows, hallelujah. If it doesn't, at least you l i v e d. Thank you so much for sharing this.

A reminder that life totters on the sharp edge of oblivion—one second you are here and the next you are not.

A somber reminder of our fatality. It's a wise and pointed observation. Perhaps we should all carry those comic-book signs reading, "Prepare to meet God."

Bennett,

With so few words, you drive home an important point. We're all mortal and don't know when our time is up.

WHAT?
An aneurism?
Naaaaaaa .....
I see that bumper sticker: "Shit Happens"
a lot more these days here in the southland.
Seems everything is on a fine line these days,
and any little freakin' wind can topple all of it.

Just goes to show that nothing is forever, huh?

Be always safe,

I think this just happened to me over the past week. Just when things were going so smoothly. A timely reminder. Gratefully mortally yours....Peter.
