A new beginning, a passing phase

An ending chapter, parting ways

Living the moment, running a race

A fruitful journey, end of days

Here to stay or just passing by

Not knowing when hello meets goodbye

Seeking answers or just asking why

Time watches on and continues to fly

Even a simple move in chess play

Can just determine come what may

The unpredictable can we deny

The inevitable one can we defy

Let it out regardless laugh or cry

Living the moment as we try
