Eternity resides
in the blink of an eye,
seen through the mind,
eternity lies.

Eternity defies
human physical state,
viewed through confines,
eternity hides.

Eternity abides
in the length of a sigh,
heard by mankind,
eternity cries.

Eternity denies
its future and past,
sings its designs,
eternity’s pride.

Eternity inside
comprises a life,
unknown and entwined;
Eternity…why?

Eternity I
feel mortality’s weight,
can’t be defined,
eternity died.

Eternity decides,
in the blink of an eye;
reality resigns,
Eternity lies.
