A glimpse of eternity

Eternity,

My heart yearns for a glimpse!

In my mind’s screen a subtle glow.

Broken shadows dance in the flicker,

Assume intelligible forms of bright hues.

The earth, deforested and despoiled,

An empty shell. The horned moon

A blanched rib lying in a cemetery.

The sun bleeds pale at dusk and dawn.

The stars burn down, milky-way drains

But,

I perceive beyond the limit

Of the limitless cosmos

A bright half of colours infinite

Engraved with multitudinous designs

But ever changing

With kaleidoscopic unpredictability.
