The only eternity

Inspired by Cyan's audio file 'Albatross' and the desire to reach across the sea....
The image is from this site.

Carrying the seeds of care,
she spins for ever and a day,
dancing like the milky way.
turning and spinning, trailing her hair
With wind in her eyes and grass at her feet,
she sings with the birds,
songs without words,
smiles at all she meets.
Can you hear her distant call?
the fishermen lament,
the farmers pause, and raise their eyes
at the saddest songs of all.
Why are you crying little one, don’t you know?
All that breathes is doomed to die
Whether on land, in sea or sky
Onwards life will go.
Your memory will fade, your visions pass
into the maelstrom of light,
beyond our sight
the only eternity
the weight of love, and memories aglow
