The Immortal
For once in my life
I have someone that needs me.
An eternal journey yet only a moment
From here to there, preoccupied with time
A base established on a distant outpost
Radiating signals home
Contemplation
Living in the moment
I will return someday
To this time and this place
It is a comfort to feel this
Knowing its certainty
She comforts him with irony and displeasure
Only he knows how much she cares
Species intermingle and are inappropriate
Signaling the Immortals departure
His work is done here
Sowing the seeds of change
My room is blue
Even things red look blue here
Aided by a need to make sense
Of things irreconcilable
Shatter the framework
Of matter and form
As we reconnect with what matters
In an infinite universe
Immortality in the eyes of a child
Looking to the vastness of time
When I return here
All this will be gone
Dust and memories
For me yet a moment
Traded for the heavens
And a brief stint of immortality.
