one hundred years

are but a breath

in the bounty of all eternity

one thousand years

but a blink

and then another thousand

will come and go

again

one hundred billion years

are but a beat of a heart

a flash of light

in the shadow of forever

in this expanding universe

inside the mind of God

remember me

is all i ask

and if remembered be a task

then forget me

this tight rope made of sound
