Eternity

Take a walk with me he said
With a gleam in his eye
I will show you things anew
How they will mystify…
I took his hand and as we walked
The trees gave off a ghostly glow
Of sparkling green…a rebirth
What else had this man to show

Quietly we talked and cajoled
With smiles on our faces
Just being in his company
Took me to exotic places
We came upon a river
Beneath the trees we sat
And whiled away the rest of the day
With our friendly chat

The birds were brightly singing
Mixed with the symphony of the river’s sound
The sky was turning crimson
As we watched the sun go down
One by one the stars blinked on
Ne’re had I felt such serenity
He slipped his arm around my waist…
We named this place, Eternity
