Finite

Living in a house of finite walls,
We wait for the moment when infinity calls.
And so we mistake some voices of love
To be the call from eternal cove.
We merry and rejoice as we fall in love
Singing the songs of cuckoos and dove
Thinking that at last we have found
Something in this world, so unbound
Which chains of time cannot restrain
Which orders of time cannot ordain.

Yet, the time plays its part
Burns into ashes, the love in heart.
The faces remain, yet no feel
Will this wound now ever heal?

So bear in mind, my dear friend
If it'd a beginning, it has an end.
This inevitable fate can't be changed.
Time's fast tiger can't be tamed.
If now you are asked to sing love's song
Once ask your asker "for how long?"

I like the multidimensional meaning of 'infinity call' here..a love seems to be so real, innocent, ..just made for me but later we realize that it was a mile stone in the way to tell you that you should go..that it's not life..a stronger foundation is all we need..I love your way of considering the life with an infinite feelings for a finite moment..a very brilliant work

If only we would realize that everything has an end, maybe we would be able to minimize the pain that comes with the end.
Thank you so much for reviewing and complimenting it :)
