Life is a mystery,
a chronology marked
by time unknown,
an impenetrable vail
cloaked until the next event is revealed,
events etched into a series of memories,
pleasurable, vividly detailed
stimulate instant recall,
others, unpleasant, buried deep,
forgotten for all time.
Life is a mystery, ending when it ends,
events recorded fade into history,
with each generation passing,
dimming, forgotten,
and,
life remains a mystery.
