Forever Is Lost
Corrugating, the rough waves stretch so far.
They carry me to later and often throw
me back to things, that in course of years are
gathering with pain. Still, in a while, I know
what I have known, surprised by the flow
my life’s taking and how time has kept pace
all around me, without a spark of grace.
Propulsion pursues its way as strong,
nothing will halt, and nothing is always.
Forever's lost, this whole weary life long.
