Eternal Game by Christine Tabaka

Eternal Game

Night sounds amble away with starlight

at their heels. Seeking out the yawn of

morning’s sleepy outstretched arms.

Hours, four and twenty, play tag

amongst themselves. A game

the moon knows all too well.

Dreams come to rest on shoulders

white as milk, until the sunlight beckons,

with eyes the color of sapphires.

The story is perpetual beyond the span

of time.  Eternally chasing its own tail

through the universe in pursuit

of a brilliant golden sun.
