Forevers

morning-waves

We are left no choice
but immortality. The time has come
to step into our true nature,
or rather, to stand clear in it
while the winds of these times
blow our illusions away

All the things we thought we were
are now so imperiled, so compromised,
that there’s no point in parsing out
the things that have gone wrong

But what we’ve always known inside
about our worth
gleams forth as miracle
right where we were thinking all was lost
and we will rally
around that bright truth
and it will save us
in more forevers than we need to count.
