Between Here and Eternity

Braving the lay of time and space, the joy,
And suffering - the flesh in throes of pain
Or highs. Lowing on floor or riding springs.
Between the sheets, we sense darkness and light.

Ebonic plague, a question forms, dare ask…
In sickness haste, we know we cannot last.
Then God appears in chiaroscuro;
In feint and faint, we blink out S O S.

What place we find when closing eyes, coin-shut.
I’m good enough? My works paved paradise?
An entity…who’s there? Fear look… I stare.
My history’s like dandelion seeds.

Wide or narrow, a path of no escape.
Eternity, in endless waves, fallout?
