A PLACE FOR ETERNITY
How fast the present doth fade from my mind
Yet how warm is my heart from the glow of memory
Why does my dream take me always so far
From where I want to be
What is it that destiny
Has chosen that I must see?
When some in truth say
We block out that which we will not see
Now still they say
It is back we must come
To this place called reality
This place we try to disguise
With pretty colors and fancy styles
With many a group of words and facts
We try to change our destiny
But hope is gone
AH!
A falsehood those words be
For as my pen doth make me see
A stranger deep in the caverns
Of my mind tells to me
That all will be
And why or who may he be
This drifting ghost
Always becoming to me
He stands just out of site tonight
He is in the dark just darker than he
Tomorrow he is in the light so bright
I cannot even try and see
So it is faith I must have
To this thing that drives me on
For at no time does it set me free
But wrong again I say
For when love doth knock at my door
Does not the opening of it see
My being float past all that I know
Into a place that I would have for eternity.
