Day of Forever
We search within
for the day of forever,
tying memory after memory
in a never-ending pattern
which flows forwards and back,
and yet,
we never see towards
the periphery,
we stand blinded in the fury
and anticipation of discovery
of the things we hide
and questions we want to ask,
like,
why...
do you burn through my mind,
forever falling
in endless choices,
traveling on the wheel of time
which breaks in every day,
in every hour
that slips through our fingers
too easily
though we grip tightly, like steel,
until we bend too far the other way
and all is gone,
as if it never was,
just one more morning to wake to,
and one more night to struggle with.
There are those who face loss
with fierceness of determination
to overcome and forget,
then there are those
who fall beneath the weight
and pretend
life has some ultimate meaning.
And there are the rest of us
who believe
in the day of forever,
and we wait
and we hold on
...forever.
