E T E R N I T Y - for Karen's uncle

Eternity can be

a sea shell on a shore
figuring how to be
part of the Milky Way

Eternity can be
stardust upon the sea
shimmering in the spray
of a fine summer's day

Eternity can be
a sail boat on its way
or a break in the clouds
or a boat in a bay

It can be in Torquay

or it can be away
as part of a display
up in the Milky Way

Eternity is you
in our hearts
on this quay

Sail away

Sail away
