Their cheeks blush as they rush through the dark.

Their peaks flush as they gush to make their mark.

They knew their days were numbered,

choosing to embrace the moment and live unencumbered.

and they had mastered the intricacies of various pleasures, as if they were shaded, colorful, fine-tuned arts.

"So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12
