Everything that rises <br />upon reaching the peak <br />cannot stay there for long <br />like the sun that ascent to midday <br />soon descends to settle at nighttime. <br /> <br />Our life acts the same manner <br />from birth we grow to adulthood <br />age continues but health declines <br />unlike the sun we cannot go up again <br />later we lie into permanent state of rest! <br /> <br />Mortality is factual reality <br />man lives to experience time <br />opportunities are for the taking <br />do we grab and take the challenge <br />or simply ignore and wait for the twilight?<br /><br />Marvin Brato Sr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/twilight-78/
