Finality is much debated
Is it a bad thing? Can we abate it?
~
We’re all scared of the end, at curtain call
Did we get what we wanted at all?
Time is finite, never ample
It's always a fight and a gamble
Life’s rife with strife for more time
To build something that remains sublime
~
You’re right, time is forever running out
Never allowing for much throughout
Always fast
Never surpassed
And we’re always left in doubt
~
Ah! But would you work hard if you knew
That life is infinite, with no end in view
Or would you procrastinate and laze
Knowing that tomorrow is no longer a haze
Its hard to say for sure or procure
A definite answer that’s complete and pure
But do the best you can in the here and now
And don’t worry about the end for now.

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.
