Everlasting Life


One day, walking in the hills, I sense you’re inside me.

I don’t know how much of this can be real:

emotion built from the beauty of a place stirring me

and suddenly being aware of your presence.


I stop a moment; the shock of discovering you with me

pulling me up; I’m unsure, questioning:

in truth we are our parents in our time; if beauty is stirring

the atoms you bequeathed me, would that be a surprise?


Walking on, I am aware of a warmth like love filling me,

and I’m aware of the beauty that is all around, and being part of it.

I laugh out loud, quicken my step and have, in that moment,

comprehended something of everlasting life.
