Year Zero Down, an Eternity to Go

Year Zero without you at the table, begging for random kernels

Popped just as I handled you with care, and I hope you knew as

I still do now more than ever before - how I'll always love you so.

Time only sailed the stormy gales of the sands of the hourglass's

Granules, so small and yet as microcosms, a world all their own

Because the tell tales with so much to behold - and o'! Now you're Gone and I've suddenly taken a cold -

And if I never told you each moment at our home how I loved you,

It was one chance missed out of so many I'd waste, for by our time,

Measures are merely pithy condemnations for how we shall never

Control, for science only knows a tangible end to the beginning of "No".

Almighty God planted for each a cedar, a trunk firm as its age-old

Rings tell of many a tale, but I digress at yours within that wooden

Home, and how you are home, where no tempest shall uproot you

So long as there is an Eternity for you and me to spare.
