Eternity of You

Have we not walked upon this earth before

Did we not share the silence of the sky,

Walked undaunted through the open door

Of life, its wonder and its mystery?

We dove into the stillness of the sea,

Above you winged the giant manta ray,

You swam alone in your infinity

And watched this coloured nether world at play.

I remember how I looked into your eyes

And felt my soul upborne in ecstasy

So soon you answered the call of Paradise

And I am left as on a barren lea

Planting flowers of a brighter hue

Alone in my eternity of you.
