Waiting for a New Forever


 

Caught in the complexities

of aging our lanterns

casting the shapes of companions

back from the past

on the road between two eternities—

what we have forgotten,

misremembered, never knew,

and what we can't foresee,


So many ways to be afraid

waiting for a new forever.


Morning's cold fresh snow.

Snow the simplest phrase.

Day the simplest phrase.

Wind the simplest phrase.

Is it not enough?

Yet how can we be blamed

for wanting more?
