How sweet is the
idea of eternity,
a realm in which you
are not captured by
tyrannical time
and not held by
its unforgiving grip,
but free to be
in the totality of
all that is tender now.
But like all sweet ideas
they do not sit
so well with this
bag of earthly flesh
that holds you bound
in this time and place,
and in the history
of where you came from,
what you are,
and what you are
most likely to be.
