Forever

Forever

March 26, 2025

Where do parallel lines intersect?

When do diamonds lose their luster?

For how long will the Sun rise?

What does it take to end true love?

I thought eternity was a friend

I thought everything was quantitative

I thought about forever

However, forever never thought about me

My time, from my POV, is lengthy

Awash with chronological representations

Of weeks, month, years, and decades

Substantive to those who covet substantive things

But forever scoffs at such thoughts

Not even a sig fig in any calculation

Forever dwarfs all life

Forever dwarfs all

So, how vast is the ocean?

So, how many stars in the sky?

Forever will always be there to calculate

I just won’t forever be there to hear the answer
