A poem inspired by today’s writing prompt contemplating eternity:

a place of beauty
free from life’s chains
is where they go
when the soul remains
pink sky through forest
silhouetted by trees
moonlight of solstice
magnifying the seas
the flicker and lull
of flames that entrance
the absence of breath
upon love’s first glance
the haunting wail
of a searching loon
the peaceful slumber
of a summer monsoon
where do they go
when only souls remain
amidst fullest joy
never to wane
