immortal silence

 i freeze and sing time

i feel time

stop time, try it.

time doesnt stop.

was there ever never time,

is the universe simply change? 

do the lonely stars 

flicker slowly out

and time keeps

ticking, in

total dark nothing

does death even know 

about time? 

these old bones

 too far to turn around

only bearing witness

to these old bones,

while water floods

the dams,

sitting at a wood table

wondering about the tree

it came from. 

worshipping the sun

amnesty and forgiveness

pile of sins

holy relics

far off hunger

weve stretched the distance.

all love made personal.

in the future

portraits on a wall. 

 

a pond by the sea

 even in the dark,

even in a loss,

even when the way

hurts and feels lost,

by the beating of the heart,

by the sound of song,

in the murky hope of future light

the resonant love around us

the feel of warm against the cold

someone slumbers somewhere

under cover, nestled close

from the box

hope remains

true and etched for all time.
