The Stranger

At my door came a stranger
seeking shelter from the storm.
Soaked with rain, he huddled close,
truly trying to get warm.

I asked from whence he came
and where he hoped to go,
he did not answer me,
I judged he did not know.

He was rather lean of bone
I could tell he needed food.
My heart began to soften,
I just couldn’t treat him rude.

He had four tiny paws,
a coat of yellow fur.
A most handsome cat,
how he loved to purr.

My open door invited
this stranger in my home.
He spent no time accepting,
never more to roam.

“Your money or your life,”
he sayed.
As I stood at the edge
of his blade.

Tore my pockets agape,
found a buck forty-eight.

He was holding my life,
yet he folded his knife.

Under breath he swore,
and gave me one dollar more.

Eternity doesn’t flow into the future
for it’s without time and space.
It isn’t large, nor small,
it takes up no room at all.

Eternity is where you are.
At this moment you live
within its invisible reach.
Yet it exists without limits.

You are eternity, you make it real.
Without you, there’s nothing
to Being, not a wee bit,
Until you decide to live with it.

There’s plenty eternity left
for building a success.
A life of peace and joy
that lasts forevermore.

Love is the key
that opens eternity.

I’m going fast, nowhere special,
just need speed, I can not be slow.
Running stops, and beating red lights,
Pedal to the metal, gotta go.

Have no time to smell the roses,
take a vacation, or just relax.
Got too just, keep on moving,
quicker, faster, making tracks.

Burning candles at both ends,
and even in the middle too.
Something big and bad is
chasing, stirring up an evil brew.

I can feel it getting closer,
reaching for me every day.
Have no clue as what it is, or
why I just keep running away.

Now I’m done, can‘t go no further,
moving fast has ruined my health.
Looking back to see what’s chasing,
saw me running from myself.
