Of Infinity
"Of infinity the sky and all the stars; the ocean and
all the crashing waves; nature and all it encompasses;
and my eternal boundless love, grief and tears. "

Of infinity is the night sky and all the stars,
that twinkle and shine quietly and vast;
I wish to collect a few and keep them in jars,
the endless lights of the night always steadfast !
Of infinity are oceans and crashing waves,
undulating, swirling, ebbing, flowing;
and upon ceaseless ocean waves are ash thrown graves,
the perpetual waves are never slowing !
Of infinity is nature's timeless essence,
fish, birds, creatures, trees, fauna, flowers;
I find my tranquility in the quiescence,
in the sun, wind, snowflakes and rain showers !
Of infinity is my deep love, grief and tears,
my love lost everlasting and evermore;
my immense grief a dark cloak I have worn for years,
and in waters infinite my tears pour !
Of infinity is the night sky and all the stars,
Of infinity are oceans and crashing waves;
Of infinity is nature's timeless essence,
Of infinity is my deep love, grief and tears !
