Analysis of Forever Timeless



A minute to make a moment
the instant to endear
A vow to make a marriage
more committed year to year

A ribbon to make a bow
once the tie is fastened right
A hope turned into wishes
wrapping tidings ever tight

A man begets a son
with his legacy passing on
A matriarchal mother
making lullabies of songs

All time forever timeless
past—future in default
As fate unlocks eternal
the Muse inside your vault

(The New Room: June, 2022)
