-- Eternity Unbound --

­­John Herlihy

 

Eternity breaks all boundaries,

Yet eternity remains maligned.

Time sets up endless barriers,

Eternity offers unity to bind.

 

Eternity unbound sets us free,

Untied into a limitless expanse.

The self unbound is the true me,

Loving the Divine true romance.

 

We hardly heed eternity’s call,

Time hangs heavy in our mind.

Turning us into something small,

Then we are the ones maligned.

 

Look to the stars of night above,

In the distance, their secret near.

Shining the light of an eternal love,

All throughout the universal sphere.

IN UNABASHED BEAUTY..ETERNITY DISPLAYS ITS PRESENCE FOR ALL WHO ARE SEEKING HER... TO SEE! MARVELOUS IMAGERY AND STYLE, JOHN. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH....HIS INSPIRATIONS

Indeed. I ruminate often on what the path of my ashes may take in the winds of the infinite cover we look up to. There is, as your poem posits, such a loss for those who fear death because of the syndrome of time that makes growing older that part of time to be avoided. Like they say, growing old isn't for sissies.

Someone once told me that eternity is pregnant with promise. It's up to.each one of us to Divine the potentials in our lives.
