Eternity Poem by Peri Morgan

It happened oh so fast,
I never saw it coming,
and all I can remember,
was everybody running.
In a blind daze,
complete with blind panic,
everything so fast,
everything so manic.
Nothing at all felt real,
it was all just like a dream,
everything was blurry,
everyone calling for me.
Then as I stood there,
I realised the truth,
there lay my body,
what more did I need as proof.
That death was not the end,
life was far from over,
standing there in shock,
still I could smell the sweet clover.

As I reached out,
I'm sure she felt my touch,
my hand resting on her shoulder,
her hand began to clutch.
To show her it didn't hurt,
I whispered in her ear,
'Fear not my love,
for I'm always near'.
'Nothing will ever change that,
even death can't stand in the way',
and I'm sure she heard my words,
on that fateful day.
For as I looked up,
I saw the tears upon her cheek,
suddenly she was smiling,
strong yet oh so weak.

And every night I visit,
still she wishes me well,
for no matter how we parted,
in her heart I'll always dwell.
I know it's just her love,
keeping me alive,
so I'll do just one thing,
constantly I'll strive.
To watch over her,
keep her from harms way,
until my love can visit me,
on her dying day.
So whether she's still young,
or lived her life out full,
I know when the day comes,
I will feel her pull.
And once again we'll meet,
in a place of serenity,
and together we will be,
forever, eternity.
