Do we truly ever know
What it is we have left
How do we figure the remainder
Of our limits, God-given or self imposed?
The energy or lack thereof
Spiritual, physical, mental
The remainder of these
Left to figure
Are we all doomed
But to entropy
Will we prove
Truly finite
Outside of the presence of Grace
Real or imagined our destiny
The most mundane events
Prove to have effects
Seemingly inconsistent with
Their causes
What remains of the day
An hour here and there
Is it wasted in silence
Are there moments
We could use better
To even our advantage
Why do we even ask
The question
Of what remains
The fragmentary nature
Of human memory
On the Balance
The imperfections
That exist in our mind's eye
Were they put there
As the result
Of the flaws
In our reasoning?
