Eternity
Think not of eternity as forever
unlimited amounts of tomorrow
Inhabit the seconds of present
the best ones can last millennia
Breaths before first kisses
ultimate highs of intimate pleasure
The moments after child’s birth
a soul ascendant after death
We strive in vain for immortality
unknown expanses of future
Better to consider the eternity
of time we inhabit right now.

This was packed with things to ponder. So easy to miss the moments that can be an eternity in our lives. Also, good advice in that last line. "Better to consider the eternity of time we inhabit right now."
