 the angel in this picture is playing the lyre.she borrowed it from me.
How long is forever? When does time end? The road to eternity, twists... and it bends How long is a lifetime? How long will it last? Will your time tick by slowly, or will it go fast? The answers elude us, until its too late to share with the world the role played by fate So live each day fully as it were your last Grab onto today not your future or past Enjoy your fruits now and don't let them rot for today is here now but tomorrow is not |

Lyra~ Very nicely done ! *grining* at your generosity with the lyre ! Searching for eternity They come full-circle In foreverly~ foreverly is my 'coined' $1.98 word for 2001~ In my mind it joins forever and eternity~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Lyra, this is so true and something we should all keep in mind.. can you imagine if we would all live this way? There would be much less hostility and anger in the world.. for who wants to spend their last day fighting or being angry? ::sigh:: a glimpse into a perfect world Pepper |

Thanks for your reply, Craig...I agree with you about defeating time...but it does seem to go faster, as we get older...as if it were a spring which gets smaller towards the end of our lives.  Nothing can make time pass faster than growing older! copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Thanks Pepper...I definitely agree with you...thats how we should live.  Thanks for your reply Juanita...thank you,and you are absolutely right about that. No one can ever be sure that there will be a tomorrow, thats why its important to live in the moment. Noah...thank you too! and Carpe Diem!  Sy...thanks for the reply, and I do agree...it goes much too fast.  Doreen...thank you for the reply, and no one really knows how long forever is. Thats what the poem is about asking.  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
