Eternal Life Never is a word that really never should be used It’s never too reliable and often is abused For we never know when life could take an unexpected twist And suddenly display the “never thing” we would resist “Forever” is more soothing and more gentle to the ear It gives a certain permanence to things we like to hear And never does “forever” make our heart sad or forlorn For we’d never be forever if we never had been born Elizabeth Santos |

I usually dislike absolutes, But I find I like this one of yours. But as forever being soothing, I suppose it what the thing is that is done forever, Pushing a boulder uphill forever comes to mind. Well crafted as usual. Enjoyed Gloom |

Not only are you masterful at imagery and emotion but now I find you are also quite gifted in sharing wisdom in poetic grace. Very well phrased and the scary part is that I actually understand it. Could it be that I am ......... Nah.....must just be your exceptional talent for sharing. Much enjoyed and I especially liked the rythm of it when I read it aloud. |
