I am forever your greatest fear.

I wonder, still, if you hold me dear.

I hear your futile attempt to measure, 

I see you seek both meaning and pleasure. 

 

I feel all beings with cold embrace.

I touch, draw lines upon your face.

I worry not of strife or plight,

I cry not for consciousness benight.

 

I understand a universality,

I say you confront frail mortality.

I hope the reason why is clear;

I am Forever: your greatest fear.
