Life Love Eternity

Life. It's like that hazy glow Just before the day lets go Of it's bright and lasting hold And slips off into night's Cool blue sky. It lasts for one short breath Only inches in breadth Before fading into death And becoming just a memory Of something loved. Love. It's like the little flower Shut up for endless hours Held in by it's own power And the need to grow Within itself. But it opens softly up Perfect, and uncorrupt Light filling it as a cup And showing it's beauty To the world. Eternity. Is no mythical thing, Of which we merely sing, Or a made-up scheme, But as true as the heart Beating inside you. The hazy light leaves, The flower it's last breath breathes, And eternity moves and weaves Into the lives of all Walking the Way.
