When Forever Ends

November 27, 2007

Put out the flames you’ve named passion,
The hate that lingers on your tongue means little soon after,
Meaningless fervor when you sleep becomes dust,
When love seems so far don't settle for lust,

Cradling material you think the tighter your grip the longer it stays,
You forget to remember that memories fade,
And when forever abruptly comes to an end,
The treasures you’ve embraced disappear from your hand,

So hold onto the things you can never clutch,
Cherish the moments you can never touch,
You can never be empty when you befriend infinity,
Accept G-d’s invitation to attend eternity,
