Brief Interlude

Grab this sweet life in its brief span
Of fleeting ecstasy and agony
And make of it the most you can,
For dust to dust is your destiny,
Your life is but a moment
In the fated scheme of things,
So, stay the darkness
Which some morrow surely brings,
Enjoy this interlude - it is the best,
You have eternity to blot out
Consciousness - and rest...
