Another One Lost (A sonnet)
Tall clocks domineered with rhythmic chime,
ever since the beginning of our time.
All commodities have their expiry,
we ought to realize this veritably.
Enthralled, immersed in the cicadas cry,
we seek, but no sign is divinely clear,
learn the harsh adage, all things will succumb,
engrossed in thought-the autumn dusk is here.
Without discernment, in the blink of eye,
first descending soft snow-I see arrive.
All the leaves have been killed, yet they still fly.
With the indolent progression of life,
dont live oblivious and filled with regret.
Apprendre a cherir-and you wont fret.
