Measuring Eternity
By
Jude Kyrie

She lay musing in this Arms
The lovemaking finished
How long is always.?
she asked.dreamily.

He gazed into her beautiful grey eyes.
It is a very long time my darling.
but not as long as forever,
he said.

So forever
is the longest time there is then?
he smiled at her question.
No, my darling he said softly.
Eternity is longer than forever.

So then how long is eternity
she whispered.
Is it perhaps too long
to be measured?
almost answering
her question herself.

No, my love
I know exactly how long
eternity is he said.
with a sadness in his eyes.

Please tell me how long is it.
she begged of him.

quiely he answered her
It is the time that passes
Until you return to me
once more.
