6 Years in Eternity

Have you met all the parents yet?
loved ones loved ones have lost?
have you found our tears?
and are they dear
to Him?
that living water
like rivers slipping down a spring mountain
watering pastures and people who toiled through them
or are you suspended in rest?
drifting like silk in water among the stars
cradled in nebulas
swaddled in Love
I hope you are
I hope you're so far
from all of this
6 years in eternity
a moment for you
a lifetime to me
yet who am I do decide what's fair?
I can accept the mystery
but not without tears
and the faith that you no longer shed them.
