-- ENDLESS --

By John Herlihy

I want to see things I never see the end of,

Some things really do seem so endless.

Endless ripples across the heart’s serene bay,

Endless days with their inscrutable way,

Endless dark nights to cover our feeble sights,

Endless love with feathery wings of a dove,

Endless power that never diminishes the hour,

Endless time that will make eternity mine,

The endless sky blue whose mystery God knew

The endless ocean magical as a charmed potion,

The endless forest in eternal shadow promised,

The endless desert harbors a well as present,

The endless garden that need seek no pardon,

Endless merit that will fill the cup of my spirit.

The Light of God to make my pieces whole,

The Spirit of God that will fill my empty soul.

Endless friendship that supports a true friend,

I want to fill myself with things that never end..
