may we call you Alice

(to Allie)

time... will place its distance between us, of this, we can be assured,
as reality grows ever closer to that truth, I feel the edge of this sword,
but life... has always been an impatient creature, and this I truly know,
freedom offers up the world, but you still will reap, that which you sow

the great one... stretches a hand to you, but taking it is not the choice,
it's by choosing, just not yours, can't you hear the cosmos in his voice,
love is... the only thing worth the search, for the quest is an infinite one,
this is your welcoming into paradise, everything is yours, under this sun

I am with you... we are all with you, always have been, and always will,
as this reality likes to play it rough, a passing through, takes much skill,
from here... there is no turning back, and if you so wish, no goodbyes,
you won't change the world, change happens in you, that is the surprise

you'll prepare... but not be prepared, adventurers have that guarantee,
but the place to find yourself is in between, all you do, and all you see,
the journey... expectation's dream is true, but truth is, a nightmare too,
and if along the way you become lost, fear it not, all of it is you, all you

responsibility... it is not just a human thing, there are obligations to fulfill,
there are rites of passage as such, listen sincerely to the freedom of will,
stand strong... humble and receptive, there, the cosmos will yield for you,
you've already received the spirit's gift, be worthy, and your joy will ensue

remember... all these worlds are a mirror unto you, see yourself in the all,
be the beauty bestowed upon you, then, the cosmos will answer your call,
for in you... all of this exists, it's the magic of being, knowing what you are,
search if you must, you know you will, but some destinies are just too far

upon returning... I will be gone from this place, going to my next embrace,
having made my peace a lifetime ago, I look forward to the coming chase,
you are with me... forever caught up in this maze, this I know as certainty,
what we have now is infinite, as any fraction of eternity, is still an eternity

forever within a day... as today will always remain, yesterday's tomorrow,
but oh that sun, how it chases us down, across the fallows of our sorrow,
and what of sorrow... would you throw it to the wind, or hold it even nearer,
best keep it, everything is sacred, believe the miracle, as it too is sincere

a thoughtful look at life...the past has passed ,,,and for that we were born again and again if our eyes were open to all the wisdom that flew around our head....and if we're lucky we find some peace....some contentment in the knowing eyes withered but clear..... 8)

This struck me:

what we have now, is infinite, as any fraction of eternity, is still an eternity
