I SEEK ETERNITY

I seek eternity
Engraved me immortal
On the wind’s shoulders
With fame widespread
Beyond the horizon
Across the universe

I seek eternity
Misunderstand me not
I quake to feed my pride
Defeat this arduous task
Incur God’s wrath
And stain our stained image

I seek eternity
Be indignant and fight
To capture a new image
Redefine thought patterns
Inspire unsullied ideas
Of this and generations to come

I seek eternity
I dare to this question
Extraordinarily with accuracy
Gasp for breath in discouraging waters
Endure piercing eyes
Stretch me beyond me
So help me GOD
