Poetry: Immortality

Yesterday I saw your smile,
In the blue sky,
You shone bright
at first dawn's light

I heard your laughter,
Echo through the walls of my home
As my son laughed out loud alone.

Today, I saw you fly
As eagle
In the sky

Looking down
Without a word or a sound
The nearness of you
I knew
As he flew.

I heard you whistle outside
As you did when I was a child
But to my surprise
It was a bird outside

Without hesitation
Or fear.
The bird came near.

I saw you last night
As a shooting star
Rainbows of light.

Burst in flames
In your flight

You were on

your journey

To eternity

    Without ever feeling them pass.
    The world laughs, the world cries
    But nothing ever lasts

    God is constant.

    Man is faithful or fickle.

    Harvest will come

    Then He puts in the sickle.

    God is immortal,

    So is man's soul,

    Given

    Time labours on, as do I.
    Senseless fool, I wonder why
    To dark seduction, I made reply,
    By forfeit of my right to die!
    Alone,
