As time reels
half a century near
how we human age
how we grow toward real
life ceases as eventual
how we live
how we perceive we live
days merge into days
years yearning
for closure
are we near living
are we dying lived
life yes, it takes life
to define the living
to see close and clear
to know love real
for the last time perhaps
when you can still whisper
i love you dear
for now love
as life takes us
as hearts will
as time reels
till eventually
real
