Another Word for Eternity

When I wake and watch you sleep
Waiting for the glow in your eyes
The embrace of your smile
The touch of your breath

I am aware
We have been strangers for millennia
friends for centuries
And lovers forever

We are spiders in the web of time
Crossing and weaving our own dimensions
In spaces of desires unseen

And some day
Be roses again
Under a dome of stars
Thriving and passing in the circle of galaxies

We never die yet
We recur
Finding each other time and again
In the every-growing spiral of memories
We spun into stardust aeons ago

Where we remember our lifetimes
Together and apart and together

When I say
The centuries of your lives
Are worth millennia of mine

You say
Just our first encounters
Those tender hellos and wild goodbyes
Make this universe and all others
But ephemeral patterns of love

When I sleep and watch you dream
I wander your worlds and know
The way you see me and the way I see you
Is a story without beginning and without end
It just is…
