Time in suspended animation stands
upon shared glance chance destiny conveyed.
Two hands are joined as heart heart understands,
two others stock still find advance is stayed
as clock half-cock takes stock of timeless lands
two souls as one may visit, undelayed.
The seconds' ceaseless causal chain disbands,
taken aback, grim reaper sheathes sharp blade.
Red letter day these lines incorporate,
find all behind dissolved in ashen grate.
One glance is all it takes as double take
past dust must mock as meaningless, berate
life's harsh deceptions. Fortune lies in wait
inconstant date trade for fête spell none break.
