To the Weary
The hazy red sky, bees on flowers,
How many hours until I die?
Be it obvious or be it a surprise.
How many hours until my demise?
Will it be slow or will it be quick.
How many hours until my body quits?
But does it matter how many hours
Left I have on this Earth?
It is not the number of hours,
It is their worth.
