This is one of my poems from high school, my Senior year, 1963.
How Long Is Forever?
How long is forever?
Infinity means forever.
A vast, endless plain of time
Spreading out over centuries,
Spreading out over eons.
Two people say, "I'll love you forever."
To them forever may be an hour, a day, a lifetime.
It takes forever for the hands of a clock
To measure off the seconds
When someone wants time to pass swiftly.
Slowly the hands move,
Waiting is agony-creeping agony.
Forever lasts five minutes.
How long is forever?
