Lonely
Time is most fleeting
And pleasure fading
Space is less yielding
And less convincing
Life is more precious
When one feels anxious
So swift the passage
Abrupt end message
Each soul comes alone
Then life leaves dead bones
Each life a moment
An unknown fragment
So live with sure poise
Let joy find your voice
Touch each face you meet
Style kind words discrete
Do make a clear choice
To love and rejoice
Know that death will steal
All beyond appeal
