It is never now or never and never was, there is always the time forevermore and sometimes more than that.

I am beached on a deserted Island shore,
what's more, there are no footprints in the sand
and
it isn't Friday but it should be,
the sea
unforgiving, unrelenting sent me
here and here I shall stay.

Forever is a never stretched into infinity.

What seems to me a long time
could be no time at all.
