Henceforth & Hereafter

It took the earth shaking its head as if denying

The miraculous discovery of love unfettered by ideals

Bound by nothing but whispered suggestions

That this affection is true

The primacy of the world’s first dawning

Produced dew on the greenest blade of grass

We are old enough to realize, to submit to laws

We used to mock, at best ignored

We are tired, we are wiser

We are not giving up

Just sleeping off glory’s hangover

Every day henceforth is hope and yearning conjoined 

See you in the here and the hereafter
