The Arms of Eternity

Like glistening diamonds

the sun sparkles

upon the surface of the deep

A gentle breeze caresses me

as I wander aimlessly
along golden sands

that stretch out endlessly before me

 

The soft breath of the breeze

is like a whisper upon my skin

a secret

silently embedding itself into my soul

 

Majestic mountains tower above me
distant islands of life

that keep their mysteries hidden

from the eyes of man

Warmed by the fiery kiss of the sun

I allow myself to drift away

Surrendering into the arms of eternity
I joyfully enter into a timeless world

of love and peace

 

Finding freedom for a brief moment

from the sorrows of this present world

in-which we must 

for time unknown live

A beautiful poem. I like the places you took me in your words. The powerful description took me to good places and create good visions.

There is no greater feeling in the world than to die a free man~
We maybe chained by all sorts of obstacles and constraints, only we can free ourselves.. if only for a few moment.. Your poem has made me feel free!

[Carolann Dowsett]

Wow that's so awesome thanks so much.

This poem transcends dreams over reality, bringing the reader to feel and wonder what eternity is like though no one really knows what it's like. Amazing work!
