 Rainbows in Water

Mortality


Transparent mirrors upon the soul
reflecting life as it comes around
Grasping immortality in our hands
while death stalks us like a hound

We bound from ledges narrow
trying to find a steady base
Never seeing the full picture
that life is not a race

Its a building put together
with the block of experience spent
Painted in the blood of achievement
to tally our journey met

We eventually find our space
where Death shakes our hand
Then the innocence of youth
becomes ancient in Life's hands

I see the lines upon my face
the creak of joints and bones
I find the memory wandering
sometimes making me feel alone

I taste the nectar of love
feeling their hand in mine
Knowing that all that's been
Is a small chapter out of time

So now our time is spent
tomorrow has come and gone
I live on from my actions
within the book from life's song.

W/By Guy Dan Schuyler
