Such was the universe divided,

the gods took eternity

all we got was now;

The heartbreak of love lost,

The joy of sunsets shared,

The pain of child birth,

Raptures of happiness from a baby’s smile.

How short our lives are,

Yet so much to remember.

A kaleidoscope of emotions,

The sensations of feeling.

Knowing we might not be tomorrow,

The roses smelt so much sweeter;

Little things lost in the expanse of time,

But exaggerated in the face of mortality

Perhaps forever was a bad deal,

I think maybe the gods envy me.
