Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
The time arrived at last,
I gather my biblical loins,
and, mindful of the past,
my future bought with coins,
thoughtless of final death,
intrepid still my way,
I take a deeper breath,
and rise to face the day.
