Childhood

Eternity is nothing
but the redemption of time,
its return to innocence,
and its transformation into space.

Whenever the last words of your voice
have left me,
I wish you could stay
for another moment.

But it was my dreams
that were stupid and wrong-headed.
I've been listless for a while,
as I succumbed to a dull maze of error
I had made of my life.
I'm just glad that you are around,
even though I mess things up
a thousand times over.

In eternity there is
never a moment lost,
as time stretches itself into
nostalgia and untold sentimentalities.
So in this season of thanksgiving,
I just want to say
I am thankful for this
Strange and wonderful gift of friendship;
I am thankful for you.
Merry Christmas and
may all your dreams come true
