The Presence of Eternity

I sat down one day
By the banks of the river,
I had meant to stay
Just an hour, maybe a day,
Now eons have passed away.

Wow!!

Masterful Tanka, maybe my favorite yet. Like dwelling in the grotto of emptiness.

A-B-A-A-A to boot.

Thanks for your kind comments. I'm glad you enjoyed this, particularly the rhyme.
