WINDOWS OF ETERNITY

Written for Stormy Lady's Newsletter and Poetry Contest

WINDOWS OF ETERNITY

Through the windows of eternity
an aging heart looks beyond
the passing of the seasons
when the soul has come and gone.

A shadow of another life
may be cloudy at its best,
remembering the tears and laughter
is only part of the eternal quest.

If we come back to tell the tale
and there are those who do believe
that when the soul is dying,
it only takes it's leave

To return again in another time
with a new heart full of laughter,
to walk a different path in life,
Is there really a "hereafter"?
