Terry D. Sutherland

FOREVER

When the grandeur of the mountain
And the dark depths of the sea
Meet at life’s great fountain
Where tortured souls will all be free

Send a signal to the sun
And the cosmos eternity
Put an end to all that’s done
And whatever more will be

From nothing we found our way
From nothing we’ll return
Their will be no more night or day
And the expanding universe will burn

When the energy is all transformed
And there is nothing left to burn
The darkness will be newly born
And forever will have its turn
