Eternity's Twin

As of late, I have developed a new best friend It’s my younger self coming to visit my end I look in his face, and I see a new truth I look in his face, and I see more than youth Now more like my father, I more like his son The beginning he carries, from whose ending I run He tells me he’s followed, but I never looked back Always looking beyond, what my fear could attack He approaches me close, but we’re never to touch The distance between us, life’s meaning as such For most of my days I planned dying alone But now in his presence, every memory reshown He points to my heart, as his eyes fly within His vision, my vision —eternity’s twin (Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2019)

Nice poem. A shadow of you following as the well wisher and friend to the end.
