THE GAP

what can i do
between here and there
between birth and the grave
to make it have sense
a life well spent
i am hell bent
to pay my rent
and make my mark
so my soul embarks
on journeys here
and journeys there
what can i do
i must be fair
in telling you
i do despair
that what is done
is never enough
man just wants
more of the stuff
of dreams
this awful gap
does quite distract
for we don't know
how we will go
and what is done
although it's fun
might not be enough
though filled with stuff
this brutal end
comes not when
we want it to
i'm telling you
so fill the gap
and then lay back
and appreciate
what you have done
and gasp your last
as you peacefully watch
the setting sun.
