What do you think of Eternity's Home morning poem?

What price to welcome Eternity home...

What price has our sun paid for it's rising,

Shining, on Forever...faraway lands...

Squealing, laughing, children playing in sands

Where ancient reptiles left their tracks behind...

Where dolphins mated water, earth, water.

Who tore Eternity's spinning apart...

Why hasn't it's mending ended? But starts

Again each day, one hour closer in Time.

Again, light laughter of unknown children

Sifting Forever through little fingers...

Settling for food, warmth, sleep. Answers linger

In every birth, in each child...Welcome

For Eternity. And, in their eyes...Home.

Update:

Octogen...10a.m. over there? Good Morning!

Welcome Home....

    Love this... love pondering the concept of eternity.

    P.S. Don't hate me... but take the apostrophe out of "its" in the second and eighth lines.

    I think Eternity is mighty strong, starting again each day while everything else either laughs or slides into doom.

    I'm not going to say this exactly right but this is so graceful, tranquil, soothing. I love it. "Sifting Forever through little fingers..." Simply lovely.

    A very good morning!

    Eternity eternally renewing itself in every new germinating seed on the face of any of the billions of planets beyond our grasp.

    Wonderful poem Elys it brings to light anew the words of one of my favourite hymns.

    "New is the Is the light of each new dawning day" how true, and in it a chance to

    renew our outlook on life. Reassess our values.

    How many others will seeit that way?.

    I smiled as I read this, I think my favorite of yours. Smooth and hopeful. Lovely thought 'In every birth, in each child...Welcome For Eternity. And, in their eyes...Home.'

    Excellence!

    Yes, good Morning! Thank you!

    This may be my favorite of yours, the soft meditative quality of the words, the subtle rhyme and smooth meter...Good morning!
