Forever is that endless stream of stars
We see in a fathomless moonless sky.
Forever is that unattainable goal we reach for,
Though we know we shouldn't try.
Forever looks back and laughs at us
As we peer into its vacuous void.
Forever will constantly remain,
Until all eternity is destroyed.
Forever is a long time,
But... is “never” longer?
Forever is an endless rhyme,
Always growing stronger.
Forever is not love,
But... love should last forever.
Forever is the pain we bear,
When we bear the pain together.
Forever is that ominous titan
Who makes us feel so small.
Forever is yesterday's hope
That looms beyond tomorrow's call.
Forever is the speed of light
Past which all things must traverse.
Forever is the breath of God
Upon a seemingly infinite universe.
"Forever is an endless rhyme," <--- JUST more than outstanding Jeff!
I could go off of that one line and write a poem. You are an inspiration.
Excellent work.
Thanks,
