Resolute Rendering

Though we push against the current

And we fight against the flow

It insists on moving forward

That is just the way life goes

Somehow on a rainy night

The truth is amplified

And there is no denying it

This life is a short ride

Each tender-twinkled moment

Is a drop in time’s vast sea

We cannot afford to waste

One mite; but taste it gratefully

It’s a forward facing journey

We cannot return to dance

In the repeat of one moment

Yet each is a second chance

To push against Time’s current

Is foolish futility

Life is but a flow of moments

To experience… thankfully
