There is something in the existential moment

When we realize life consists of daily torment

But still it’s the very best deal that is offered

Dreams of immortality are not even proffered

With a the straightness of anyone’s best face

So this is it and what we must should embrace

The pain we feel and the dreams we steal

Are the very best of what we know to be real

So maybe it’s time to accept things that are

Instead of pushing on and over a bridge too far

Thoughts of death visit us  almost daily

As we rebuff these in our moments even gaily

This then are the moments of our days

Truthfully I would not change them in any way
