Eternity

Is there anything as eternity?

When time promises it will never die.

But time with no end

Is time with no beginning…

Has time been living for eternity too?

 

I am told

That before the birth of the universe

There was no space.

But was there time?

And what did the clock measure,

When there was nothing?

 

I am told

That there is something like infinity,

The truth of which I can well believe.

But has the pendulum been

Swinging before creation?

Was there ever

Anything as eternity?
