Novices

In from here to eternity, I wonder:

Can we let go and hold on simultaneously?
Can we grow up and not apart?
Is always indicative of forever?

Fidelity and finality
Restlessness and respite
Oaths and omissions
Scared and sacred
It’s more complicated than you thought.

Fractured pieces of stranger puzzles, you and I
Due to deepen and splinter on unseen edges
That will come
To pass
It’s more fragile than I thought.

And yet:

Nothing can tear asunder what we are joined together
From here to eternity.
