Forever Is the Strangest Thing

Forever is the strangest thing: It's shorter than you think. It starts at any time you like And ends in just a wink. You can forever be: right now Is just as good as then. The moment is quite all there is, No matter where or when. The moment is eternity, And now is just a dream. We see our lives in futures past, But that's just how things seem. Beyond the motion of the mind Is something that is true: As awesome as the universe, As small as me and you.
