FOREVER

Forever is a twinkling light far out where the black is empty

Is the forever I see the same one that you see?

What happens if we overshoot forever

In our eager flight through time?

Forever is a tolling bell whose tones call low and clear

Does your forever sound like mine?

What is the tune you hear?

What happens if the rhythm slows?

And changes all of time?

Tomorrow, waiting patiently her turn

Upon time’s stage,

Watches from the twinkling light,

Waits till today is done

Hears the tinkling summons to leave time’s beating wings

What if she forgets her lines?

What if tomorrow doesn’t come?
