Eternity

a poem by Ashwin Kumar T

Eternity, are you still there?
Is permanence your sidekick?
Does anybody care?

The world’s a changin’ ever changin’,
Too fast to stand on its own feet,
Before it can stand up, its runnin’.

The world runs around,
But who runs the world,
Like a puppeteer, without a sound.

Its going around in circles
Actually going nowhere,
And you just stand and stare.

How long will you live,
Waiting for this elusive eternity,
Let’s at least believe in it for a while.
