I want to see you there because

I want to walk down to the river . . .

where friendships resume forever

and conversation flows on, after a pause 

of decades, flowing on as light appears . . . 

In eternity, a short space of years or lifetimes

is reason to laugh

because it means nothing.

If you are not in heaven

when time ends

Heaven will be the less for it.

Please be there with me

to resume all things.

lilo

n. a friendship that can lie dormant for years only to pick right back up instantly,
as if no time had passed since you last saw each other.
