Yours Eternally Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Yours Eternally

Rating: ★5.0


New born child
playing with eternity
as if it were
a toy.

Child
in love with eternity
eternally.
Man
tearing the wings off of
eternity

to see what makes it
fly.
Death
offering us eternity
with open hands
which we(grown use to
life) refuse.

Eternity
always and forever
becoming itself
in a new-born
child.

I like the unintrusive philosophical insight and the original idea of this poem - new born child still familiar with eternity...

You meant 'grown used to life' instead of 'grown use to life', right? : P Loved your poem. Well done!
