What is ‘forever’?

Under the giant oak tree,
There was an old man,
In comfortable perusal,
And on his face there was a look,
Of blatant refusal,
To the pros and cons of the outside world,
Carelessly in the land of the lost horizon,
Some geese cackled in the water,
And a child watched,
His contentment with bread crumbs,
The glory of discovery,
Through the blades of grass,
Of a handsome little ant hill,
And on a bench two lovers in a romantic conversation,
Pondering over the mysteries of creation,
Then asking…’will you always take care of me?
Will you lead me through the tempests?
If streaks of gray cast their mark;
Shall I to you be worthless?’
And they snuggled closer,
Making lazy promises,
Of always absolute togetherness,
Yes this was their reticent happiness,
And as the sunlight reflected,
Off a forgotten dewdrop at the edge of a shrub,
And the red-breasted robin perched on a branch,
And the caterpillar danced his secret dance,
And you, who read this composition in verse,
Felt and experienced the power of words,
A brief sojourn in the land of no time,
For learning, understanding,
Creating and enjoying,
Vivacious experiences,
These moments stay forever,
Not forever that is never,
But forever that is forever.
