Permanent.
You told me
Nothing is permanent
Nothing is set in stone–
Except for the things that are set in stone–
But even then,
There are no guarantees
I got a tattoo
The needle marked my skin
Permanent.
It will not wash away
Forever marked
Yesterday I discovered it
When did I get it?
One day I found it
Grey measures of music
Strung together one-by-one
In a spiral
Permanent.
My music
Spirals
Round my heart
Round my soul
It glows:
An uncontrollable,
Omnipresent light
Emitting from within me
Permanent.
