Time, in time, eventually is timeless,
Having flattened out into a sea.
In moments of sufficient mass is oneness,
Reduced to what might seem eternity.
There is in love a similar dynamic
Yielding to the outpourings of years,
Endless end, redemption oceanic,
Infinite home for memories and tears.
Give, then, due thanks for love that lasts forever,
However long that is, a depthless deep
That rests beneath the restless waves of ever,
Happily the one thing you may keep.
