Eternity

A woman and man stood upon the hill,
Glancing to and fro.
Their hands entwined,
Their hearts outshined,
Even the brightest star.

A woman and man rested in the grass,
Their minds often wandering.
With green about them,
And laughter inside them,
They felt in their hearts, "Agape."

A woman and man walked along the water,
With arms around each other.
The crescent moon shined,
The wind’s whistle whined,
They’re gray hair streaming,
Further and further behind.

A woman and man lay beneath the dirt,
They’re hearts in one box.
Together they died,
Together they tried,
To stay together forever.
