eternity
to hold onto the plane of eternity
within the time and space of reality
requires holding a dove in flight
while we waltz across the light
galloping across a field of gold
and playing pinochle with the old
crossing words with a mischievous crow
tumbling in laughter creating overflow
most of all eternity demands
joining together, holding hands
to see the pregnant possibilities
and cease the misshapen hostilities
then the reign of peace will begin
love, faith, and charity not original sin
eternity will become a sign
of one moment caught with the divine
it happens each moment each day
when we act in love and find a way
to share ourselves with one another
embracing all of our sisters and brothers
Shalom and Amen.

"eternity will become a sign

I loved the verse:
It happens each moment every day when we act in love---
We were created to do this.
This poety is beautiful!
