Perpetuity

Here forever.
Gone for good.
Rising to survive the flood of
Circumstance, happenstance.
Sloughing off the fleeting chance
To keep a moment close to heart,
Clinging hope to never part.
Sprinkling stardust in a quest
To guide the trailing fleet to rest.

Spinning circles interlock to
Wind the never-ending clock,
Set the spring to overload,
Slide the tic into the tock.
Faithful watchers of the keep.
Tired eyes that never sleep.
Praying for a Deity.
Slaves to perpetuity.
