eternity is yours
who is to say
what eternity is
there are so many ways
that its face can be missed
for one,
eternity is 65 trips
around the sun
for another, maybe 6
what is forever
is all that is perceived
when our endeavors
have been achieved
once it is over
it's over
blackness
gone
what did it mean
and who is wrong
about all of this
about justice, pain
what will we be
when those we love
forget our name
lost amongst the clouds
or in the dirt
an inconceiveable ending
that is for sure
there is so much
that we don't know
but will that fact free us
or make us let go
what worldly things matter
when all is said and done
these trips around the sun
so fickle and trite
yet so important it all feels
as our eternity is the only one
what we feel is all we are
listen-- you can hear it
your heartbeat runs sore
your windows down
sun on your skin
nothing could hurt you
you think with a grin
listen to the notes
and expect each one
when the song is done
and your trip is complete
that feeling is over
you're under your feet
but what does that matter
you lived your bliss
eternity was yours
and it will not be missed
