Designing My Time

              

Now is the moment, the hour, the season

When I must account for my presence,

The essence of my provisional existence,

The raison d'être, purpose, justification

By which I've been allowed to design my time,

Planting seeds in my mind's fertile womb,

Creating poems, from imagination's alluvial loam,

Hoping to bring forth brainchildren,

Ideas of origins, notions of death's destinations.

Now, after this long day's peregrination

To the mouth of my soul's cold-breathing cave,

I realize that despite my indefatigable dying,

Breath is life bequeathed those who believe

That now is the be-all and end-all,

The beginning and finis, of all that will be.
