the immortal willow

swaying in the wind
bending willows bless Earth
with eternal life

A solar eclipse

barring prying eyes
the sun gives the moon a ring
an eternal bond

A rose remains fresh
imbedded in hearts and minds
will last a life time

Dreams never grow old

but the dreamer follows time

an eternal conflict

Hour of the owl

~~understands tha~~t with great age

Comes ~~eternal~~ beauty

J M Lysun

Earth is my mother
Water my eternal soul
Fire is my shield.
Air is what now sustains me.
Heaven my inspiration.

I hear nothing and nothing hears me.
The silence is eternal.

No voice to break the peace.
No shadow to cast in the dark.
No substance to touch and feel.

No tastes, no odours to smell.
No colours, no warmth.

What is, eludes my senses.
Soon, I too will begin to doubt that I am,
for only my mind knows I exist.

Lulled by a nothingness I cannot resist,
in time what I am will also fade.

With nothing to reflect my presence or to preserve my essence,
only the eternal emptiness awaits.
