This Very Moment

Cherish this very moment.
There is no better day.
Relish now without lament. Make it seem okay.
Life at best is very brief.
There is no better stay.
Swiftly comes a fatal thief. Hold no joy at-bay.
Pick a garland for the neck.
There is no better lei.
Permanence is a mere speck. Flowers soon decay.
Count the favor of a breath.
There is no better pay.
Stave off unrelenting death. Early ends betray.
Dock ships in a refuge space.
There is no better quay.
Vultures seldom leave a trace. Don't submit as prey.
Nature gives so very much.
There is no better play.
Age co-opts a velvet touch. Time takes all away.
