Millennia are fairly common things: In a billion years are quite a few. Long or short, their roundness pleasure brings: Life needs some pretext to begin anew. Each millennium's a fresh, blank page: No future ever stretched so fair and far. Now we wait upon the empty stage In hopes we'll catch a glimpse of who we are. Underneath is something vast and free: Millennia are chains across a sea.
