No Control

Impalpable shards of light penetrate the dark,
Through thick canopies bough and bark.
Rise of beckoning celestial exquisite,
I bask in silhouette endure of kismet.
 
Breath in my lungs, thoughts in my mind,
Blood in my veins, mental benign.
Fractured memories, intolerable pain,
Joyous pleasures, gifts I attain.
 
I seek new rhythm and answers going fourth,
I adequately grow to lives flow and morph.
I adapt to shadow as the stars realign,
This vessel I possess was never really mine.
 
I lay my body down to rest,
My dreams ascend the stratosphere,
The moon I reach out to caress,
Such thinking sustains my fear.
 
Tomorrow is never promised midst other things,
Which day is my last where I gain my wings?
My time is ticking, vulnerable to an end,
I have no control of when I ascend.
