Eternally Poem by Egal Bohen

Created as a fresh new page
With eyes that gazed in awe
At the colours of the rainbow
And at everything I saw
I soon became distracted
As I stepped out through the door
To wander through those places
Where grew life with all its flaws
Where the information screaming
At my senses from around
Like the currents of a river
Carried me where they were bound
So my awe became diluted
As illusion did me drown
While bewildered I was learning
Something yet had to be found
In unravelling that message
I looked in, at what was me
Where I saw that though some words were writ
My page was half empty
So I looked a little closer
At that page and all I’d done
I looked at what life meant to me
The sadness and the fun
That page was old and dirty now
Dog eared and life stained
There wasn’t much to see on it
That from my life I’d gained
So I peered again, and then did see
The words at which I’d looked
Had form, and depth and meaning
More than words within a book
For those words which I had written
When my page was fresh and new
Held a message in dimensions
That before I had not viewed
For each word that there was written
Was a lesson I should note
If only I took time to understand
What I had wrote
So from that moment
I then looked
Upon my life again
Viewing all it’s situations
(And it was not without pain)
So that learning what life was
All it's ups and all it’s downs
I could then look through life’s colours
Into where my life was bound
Understanding that the words we use
Recording all we see
What we learn
What we become
Well
They are our destiny


For our words will be our signature
When here we cease to be
Encripted in our spirits
To endure eternally
Emotions
In dimensions
Of a universal sea
