Infinities

As a teenager the concept 
of limitless space 
amazed me.  To think 
that, if I pointed skyward, 
an invisible line 
extended from my finger 
would never end!

Skipping stones across 
some quiet cove 
I would imagine that, 
with enough power 
behind the throw, 
skip distance would eventually 
diminish to infinity.

As, through the cycle of our years,
infinity grows much closer,
our spirits weave 
a glowing thread
that reaches
to forever.
