A Vacuum Without Touch
I would love to live forever
In the minds and hearts of men
As long as I could do it
Without doing it again.
I’d cherish every sunrise
Tuck it in at night
Arrest the failing moon
For stealing my suns light.
I’ll carry on forever
In the sons of sons of son’s
Remain here in the shadows
Listening now to distant drums.
Although I live forever
In a vacuum without touch
Time reminds me only
That I love them all so much.
