The Tipping Scales
What is denied, recurs.
And erodes
Unprepared shores.
Life's rites,
Win or fail,
Must be lived.
Or islands
Cease to be.
A ponderous death
Is a wasted life.
The forlorn rebirth
Of what might have been.
The death knell balance
Gazes aft.
At sacrifice rebuked.
Life lived, and missed.
What is denied, recurs.
And erodes
Unprepared shores.
Life's rites,
Win or fail,
Must be lived.
Or islands
Cease to be.
A ponderous death
Is a wasted life.
The forlorn rebirth
Of what might have been.
The death knell balance
Gazes aft.
At sacrifice rebuked.
Life lived, and missed.
