Golden Eternity

It's outside

Out of our word-reach.

It refuses steadfastly

To be described.

It runs away from us

And lead us in.

And there are words

In my pitying heart

To express it.

It's real, it's a big dream,

A joyous ecstasy of words

And ideas and flesh,

An ethereal flower unfolding

And folding back.

It has no beginning and no end

And at present it is infinitive.

Stare deep into the world

Before you as if it were a void.

I was awakened to show the way,

Chosen to die

In the degradation of life

Because I am Mortal

Golden Eternity.
