Poetry / Eternal Life

“Eternal Life”

To say it was forever, forever it would be
To say it would last, it would prosper for eternity
We say it can endure through all generations
But forever, forever never seems to give gratification

We’ve said it wouldn’t end, could we have been more wrong
We’ve said it would last forever, the ode of time’s most precious song
We believed it would prosper without giving-way
But everything fell apart within an instant of a day

The coming-of-age, we thought we’d be immortal
The fountain of you, we’d thought to be the portal
The absence of life in the silence of the evening moon
Materialized the realization forever would end fairly soon

In the grand-scheme of it all what really is forever,
The passage of time, life and death; what really binds them together
Revivification after the desecration that leads to the separation of body and soul
Could only be the beginning of eternal life we’ve yet to behold
