Contrary to the pulse of life’s heart beat
A fateful rhythm lurks outside my stage
No doubt a prelude to the end I’ll meet
Right now unseen although fully engaged
One day it comes hasty and unannounced
And couples with me hand in hand to dance
Pictured as a spintop with lilting bounce
Charading as a long forgot romance
But in the spin of frenzied dalliance
My willful heart regains complete control
And swiftly rescues me from death’s advance
Restoring rhythm and ergo my soul
With wink and nod, the pre death rhythm sneers
“Be sure, one day I shall return, my dear”
