When does it become forever? (Photo by: Reece Burka)

Until The Day After Forever

On an afternoon worth forgetting,

so hot and bothered by this and that

of the everyday…

I stumbled into the heart of a flower

that reminded me of everything

I needed to remember about my place

in the totality of all things…

It spoke of beauty, of design,

and of the mystery of surrender…

And I promised myself that

if this world is both prequel

and sequel to an endless

chain of being, I will carry

the flower with me from

one iteration to the next…

Until the day after forever.
