one life to live
Poems of Innocence
Broken loaves, abundant giving;
Broken lives, abundant living―cab
no. 4. one life to live
it is one life
of many breaths
before all mortals
meet their deaths
it is one year
of many months
before the final
week confronts
sojourner man
whose glory days
have withered to
a fretful haze
in just one week
resplendent days
leave but a mere
short day ablaze
then when that day
counts down its hours
the ultimate
hour shuts the doors
yet in that span
the minutes save
a ransom one
to grace the grave
with sixty counts
one minute left
the soul doth rail
of time bereft
one second more
then zero count
no spirit left
to stir the fount
one life to live
at heaven's gate
how will you script
your own blank slate
on that Great Day
of Reckoning
will you at heavn's
sweet portals sing?
