eternity

Like tiny diamonds the lights across the dark night sparkle
brilliance of the cosmic order in a line
the warm dense air is filled with a longing
for a movement that renders the soul to remember
that once I cruised along this same path
but in another lifetime
I hardly recognise myself in this form
when I know this too is an illusion
I can touch the longing for
it is almost tangible
within grasp yet just a hazy memory
have I really lived all this while?
or did I never die?
the silence of the night is so full of answers
it is my smallness that I cannot grasp them
I wait with bated breath for a sign
to tell me that I am on the right path
for eternity is right here and now
