Eternity Has Its Say
You’re only as strong as your weakest link,”
the Postman said out loud
“Space creates room to get lost or expand”
he shouted out so proud
True wisdom appears when it chooses the time,
it has always been that way
It’s the ear out-of-tune that hears only the wind,
—when eternity has its say
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)
