Millennia Are Fairly Common Things
Millennia are fairly common things:
In a billion years are quite a few.
Long or short, their roundness pleasure brings:
Life needs some pretext to begin anew.
Each millennium’s a fresh, blank page:
No future ever stretched so fair and far.
Now we wait upon the empty stage
In hopes we’ll catch a glimpse of who we are.
Underneath is something vast and free:
Millennia are chains across a sea.
