The Writing On Wall Calendar of Eternity

Listen to poem:
The Writing on Wall Calendar of Eternity David J Walker Do the dearly departed keep track Of the days since being Laid away to rest in a grave Forever? Are there spirit calendars on Golden walls Marked with x’s by disembodied fingers as if they were dying for a weekend to come? My father-in-law, who left just us a week ago May have run into my father who Has been gone for 36 years But I don’t know why time would mean a single thing in eternity It’s not just the bell that tolls The clock ticks off its tocks For thee, And me
