SEO GO DEO

a day so huge
it would take a lifetime
to get across

a time so vast
it couldn't be
squeezed into clocks or watches

an unseen bird
the bard of birds
telling me the poetry

of a world
coming into being
that very moment

only in a language
I could not understand
but somehow

know
without
knowing

at peace
with the mystery
of it all

happy to stay here
but time flew
through me taking me

to become
this old man
and the scrape of a pen

trying to hold  
in words
that one eternal moment

SEO GO DEO is the Irish for THIS FOREVER...go deo meaning forever or never
