Eternity

Writing these notes
Hearing these sounds
Writing these lyrics
This poetry
These words
I wonder

What will come of it?
What will become of me?
In all my time
Will it be
A rhyme

Or just meaningless words?

Will they tell my story?
Most likely not
I will vanish unseen
I will be forgot
Generations to come not remember my name
And in due time dies the flame

And only ashes remain

And still I hold hope
In my heart, it's my song
Of the words everlasting
Of the one sound that's strong
So strong it remains in a heart

But if it most likely fails
And my works will be lost
Why do I keep trying
If all turns to dust

Just keep working, they say
Your moment will come
Keep trying, stay strong
Those words are empty
You know when it will come?

Most likely never
But if reality should sever
Me from my dreams forever

Then I still have seen in adoration from afar
That guiding star
Of the one who painted the cave so long ago

Cause it's not what remains that makes it worth it, it's the joy of the moment
It is all that means a thing, it's all there is
For truth is the moment, and only the moment is true
And for every smile my art brought I have lived
A little closer to

Eternity
