For the short time that I am here
But I can never stay, nor can I say
Left-overs from a dark icy night
I absorb as much beauty as I can
For that time where I am too far
From all that is good
From the judgement unto me
Among beauty's Eternal Promise
I can rest for a while
What are you?
A moment of fear
Flow in, flow out
A grain of sand
In an ocean
A second in time
A moment in eternity
Right now it is forever...
