penultimate

 penultimate 


when longevity and posterity in the thesaurus close

and all the senses are failing yet perception rose

strange how one gets faster as one slows

how two get closer as two implores 

  that time be kind these latter days

  and not enforce two separate ways

    how undeserved these treasures seem to be

    that have accrued as if in a life of dream to me

  the stage is set the scions draw offstage 

  our greatest masterpiece this final page

draw the curtain on our creativity show

it is time to take our final bow   and yet

and yet as coloured words kaleidoscope

life we see is built on hope   and always

always worth another spin

so

open your hearts let the newcomers in

the best show on earth is about to begin
