Eternity Ain't Just A Perfume

I make my own time. I make my own terms. I cannot see how God or Nature can ever get the start of me. - Thoreau

i often get stuck wondering who made time

i'm pretty sure it wasn't calvin klein

who made flowers fragrant

who crafted the dragonfly to be a fire-breathing vagrant

who taught the ocean to stutter and what to say

who hugs the hills to stand for yet another solitary day

who birthed the buffalo to roam

who turns the words of the ages into a poem

who pulls a bow across love's endless strings

who sews the night's silence whilst the light of day sings

who is the undeniable essence of all things

who whispers the dawn

making it go on and on and on

who taught the sunflower to droop

who designed a while to fly and swoop

whose spaceless breath exhales eternity as an infinite loop

Author's Note

"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment." - Thoreau
