Eternity


The whirlwind of time drifts my soul 
from life rooted transient in the present
to the distant desolate nowhere  
where I was once, but left forever.
That’s the fading past receding fast,
yet to be abandoned and obliterated. 

Out of the shadow of perennial future, 
creating the convivial flood of copious love, 
time cascades to inundate 
the lavish landscape of life sculpted 
in my mind where dwells the desire of perpetuity, 
the deathless dream, eternity.

The entrancing memory undying,
subsists in the restive recess of the past, 
as my enticed  bird soars 
in the fleeting firmament of the present,
spreading the dreaming wings to embrace
the halcyon horizon of the future.

With the imperishable soul,
afloat in the sublime sea of timelessness,
wafted  by the congenial longing wind, 
I’m on the sanguine sail,
yearning to get from time's magnanimity,
the surreal gift, eternity.
