ETERNITY

ETERNITY

A Poem by Akinlolu

Eternity is the ocean without an end,
the road without a bend,
a garden you need not tend,
a fruit you need not blend

Eternity is the poet with a billion verses,
a flame without ashes,
an urchin without the fear of rashes,
and an ocean without splashes.

Two short stanzas yet you capture beautifully the meaning of eternity. Descriptive with some great imagery.

an urchin without the fear of rashes - so original.

Hope you are doing well Akinlolu

Thank you.
Eternity is a common word used all the time and most people don't really stop to think what the word means.....endless, infinite time, or even life after death.....I like your metaphors, they are very descriptive and the meaning you are trying to convey to readers...Nicely done
