Forever Amber

A Poem by David O Whalen (O Haolin in Celtic)

Eternity

A Scorpion entombed in Amber

Life frozen in the passage of time

Eyes fixed in cold gaze

As if enraged and amazed

At a fate so unforgiving

…So unkind…

It’s body will never know

Ruin or rot

Never again feel

The heat or the cold

Nor will it suffer

A fate even tougher

To ne’er know what it’s like

…To grow old…
