Goodnight

As the final breath escapes my lips, I gaze, 

Life seems but a gloomy haze, 

From birth's inception to this final chapter, 

I discern purpose in life's hereafter. 

In wonder's cradle, I first drew the breath, 

With eyes aglow, I glimpsed the world anew, 

With strength, I've soared, with heart, I've raced, 

Through wonder's lens, I've been effaced. 

Time ceaselessly marches on, no pause or delay, 

In facing life's trials, we find our own way, 

In hardships' grip, I've found my might, 

Broken hearts and tears in the night, 

The highs and lows, they've shaped my soul, 

In celebrations, I've chased life's true goal, 

Special moments, where memories stroll, 

Defining our purpose, making us whole. 

Time, unyielding, races forward, true and fast, 

No second chances, no dwelling on the past, 

No regrets, each step had its season, 

For life's a symphony, with no purpose and no reason.
