"In Lifelong Echoes"
Embrace dawn's embrace, a sacred tryst anew,
To shape a life where echoes find their voice,
Beyond time's measured march, a dance that's true,
A sonnet spun from purpose, love, and choice.
From roach's fleeting span to worm's gentle grace,
We stand betwixt, aware of numbered days,
Infinite dreams we chase, our hearts embrace,
Through life's labyrinthine paths, myriad ways.
Brief is our sojourn, yet its depths resound,
With hues of purpose and intentions bright,
Each stanza written on existence's ground,
A tapestry of moments woven in light.
Our journey's span a mystery above,
So let us etch it deep with endless love.
