Forever Eternal

So much of life has passed me by

places, faces have come and gone,

I’m still the same though, well,

at least I think I am,

memories like shrapnel

disintegrate 

erode

disband

naturally becoming fragments

in my wasteland,

“for now at least

I’ve forfeited peace

for a journey

that pulls me far from you,

there are no calculations

for my destination”

I am forever eternal,

a star with no core, 

a moon with no sun,

a frequency 

with no measured resonance,

a signal with static interference,  

when you next see me

time would’ve changed 

my appearance

resting,

I lay within this crimson, 

with limited vision,

my third eye,

my only orientation,

there is no parallel  

not one that I can clearly see,

I’ve done my best

to hide from age

but it would appear

its finally caught up with me
