On the Other Side of Forever

Written by Holly McKimson

I swear I saw her… yes I did… on the other side of Forever…

She sat there sipping the sweet honey from a colorful, multi-colored flower

You say you don’t believe me?

Her hair was woven with golden threads that sparkled in the sunlight

She pretended not to see me, but I think she knew I was there

You say you don’t believe me?

Transparent wings decorated with design

Her eyes… wild and free…

I wanted to reach out and capture her—

this tiny creature so beautiful and free

And take her home with me

to show all the world my most precious find

But as I watched her sitting there on the other side of Forever

I knew I would not take FREEDOM away from her

For as I watched her, I thought about my own freedom

And how precious it is to me…

So who am I to take hers away this very day

To enslave her to my ways and my world

And to those who would not believe she existed anyway?

And so it is, that as long as she is free

I will hold her beauty within my mind and within my grasp

For I can return to the edge of Forever whenever my heart desires.

I will watch her at the edge of Forever…

Forever and Beyond…

She also watches me…

You say you don't believe me?
