You are Eternity

by martin-kroyer

Imagine A picture on a screen How easily they pass you by A pastoral scene The sun is burning your skin The breeze is cooling your warmth The animals that walk, the ones that fly You see the grass, the tress and the entire field. But you are limited You cannot sense all the warmth You cannot feel all the cool You do not understand every living thing walking or flying You see the grass and the trees But the field is too big for you to comprehend. It is sad You cannot know everything You are limited By your desire to be unlimited. And this is magic Do you see what you just did there? You thought of 'eternity' What is eternity? It is beyond us It is beyond anything we know But we can imagine it We am limited Yet we know things that are beyond me. It should be impossible But it is not And I see eternity in you.
