Eternal Gratitude
©2012, Olan L. Smith
The spirit's tether that binds is difficult to sever,
But assuredly this bound was destined to be forever,
Our life is ordained for ambitious moments; of this I am certain,
As our life force grows dim, it is not the final curtain,
Rather, a call "Front and center," stand proud upon this stage
The heavens are yours to roam and explore, and thus, the courage
Your spew sprinkles the night sky with dazzling residue―
Sol creates a comet's tail, whose orbit you pursue
Flung outward deep in darkness, a soul does return
Come tomorrow or a thousand more an escape to discern?
Our duty lies with Helios, provider of life ― his mighty magnitude
Holds fast to what is his, and for that, we have eternal gratitude
