How
long does it take to write
poetry?
Why, it takes a whole lifetime.
And then a stroke of genius
Comes along to write
Snippets of it down at random
For posterity if nothing
else.
All it takes to express
the magic of transcendence,
Is a fraction of time
It takes to live the poetry
of life.
How long is time from
here to eternity?
If you are counting,
It takes forever.
How long is forever?
Imagine only the consciousness
Unfettered by time and
space,
All too soon the ripples
in the still pond
Are the balloons you watched
Fly unencumbered to the
sky
The color of the still
pond.
That disappears from view
-
Now that’s forever.
