Now or Never
Talked about, sung about,
declaring the shortness of time.
Years, months, weeks, days,
hours, minutes, seconds,
and yes the milliseconds.
Flying by at frightening speed
the lives of humans barely a speck,
while the stars and planets live on in eons.
Does the sun worry about going supernova?
Do the planets and asteroids and comets and spacedust
contemplate eventual demise?
Or do they just accept the changing of form?
As matter never disappears
the light of our lives will still travel across galaxies
which we now consider endless,
therefore, we never die.
