Of Dreams and Desolution: The Poetry of J. Douglas Stephenson

Forever

FOREVER

Faint memories, like photographs

All pushed to the side

Left peeling on the dashboard

In the sun of our lives

'Til the end of our moments

When the last hero dies

Can we still wish forever

If forever is blind

Can the light of tomorrow

Still shine through the past

For today is tomorrow

Once lunar has lapsed

From the sands of our lifetime

In the end we shall find

We see saints and sinners

But forever is blind

J. Douglas Stephenson
