Eternity

When does forever begin?
When does it end?
When had it come into being?
When has it gained its name?

The promise of eternity,
The hope of life after death,
Set apart in all of our hearts.
Forever begins.

The thought,
The hope,
The yearning,
The longing.

Eternity.
Continuum.
Forevermore.

Eternity.
There's something more to this.
Something greater.
Something powerful.

Continuum.
Always.
Ongoing.
A promise.

Forevermore.
Remaining.
Never ceasing.
Hope.

A happy ending.
A better life.
Dreams becoming reality.
Forever sets in.

We all want something better.
Something more.
Something greater than us.
Eternity.

Forever got its name
For hope that the good never ends
That the warm light that enraptures us never fades.
That love gained is never lost or walks away.

But does forever end?
Do these hopes and dreams,
Come crashing down as reality sets in?

Forever ends
When we choose to give up.
When we have no hope,
No goal, no want, no plan, no dream.

Forever ends
When we choose to let it end.
When we choose to let go.
When we choose now
Instead of the future.

When we choose the past,
The fear,
The hurt,
The pain,
To rule our lives.

Forever ends
When we allow reality
Of a harsh society
To set in.

When we allow
Worry of the future
Stress of work
To be first in our lives.

Forever ends
When we let something so small
To replace something bigger than you and I.
And let that take over and ruin us.

Forever,
Is hope.
Eternity,
Is a promise.

We only have those
When we choose
to hold them close.
To keep those first.
To make it our thirst.

Forever,
Is hope.
Eternity,
Is a promise.

Life,
Temporary.
Reality,
A mask.

Forever,
Is hope.
Eternity,
Is a promise.

A choice:
Memories, regrets, past.
Life, reality, now.
Forever, eternity, future.

The choice is ours.
To gain eternity
Or to let forever end.
