Eternity

Waves run hurried, restless Foam before them pushed along Someone’s born today and breathes While someone else... will die before long Evening quietly takes its rightful place Wind tears at the clouds, a tattered flock Someone enters first grade today Someone else hears their final school bell knock Minutes drip into eternity We can gather them into years Someone will walk through university gates Someone else will serve and shed tears The sky is covered, clouds collide Surely soon the rain will fall Someone today is getting married While someone else’s love fades, ends it all The city washed in rain's embrace And somehow, cleaner now it seems Someone’s found their bed at last Someone just stood to begin their dreams So much in life is pure chance So many paths, each one unsure Our world is full of dualities May you find the one that your cure
