reconcile

maybe everything is beyond the final star
another place or a new time, but so far
and if the hand of causation
scattered existence there, could imagination
recognize the gift with curiosity
comprehend such generosity

moreover, if reason should be found within
at the point where zero might begin
the ultimate, assembled with answers
released in melodious strings and dances
and songs telling moments in space
where each instant knows its place

perhaps then, to reconcile the obvious with the enigmatic
ought be faith in the infinite as axiomatic

re-emerging

as vast as the death after life might be
it pales with the depths of uncertainty
of where the beginning was
and which end we speed towards
of how the sentience evolved
in ether, where all revolved

a convenient duality merely describes
the impenetrable reality that nature prescribes
illuminating scriptures of hypothetical chains
that imprison passing time ‘til singularity remains
from where creation might ever escape
to recycle the universal landscape

thus, thoughts now lost in supra-organic mystery
still could re-emerge with celestial history

a heartbeat each

a heartbeat each

as we tread this path, so time worn
of fragile grit from lime stone
the seasoned horizon beckons home
yet the weathered mountain reckons none
but nature’s tormented conqueror
will succeed, a lamented journey
with fond acquaintances and regretful loss
of cerebral prose in mindful waste
so, we come to life’s stage annuity
a view of fate, each page explicated
beyond the help of god or change, surely
as the lack of means to rearrange order

these few steps to count, a heartbeat each
cannot retrace the course or defeat destiny

complacency

this power of complacency
that we use to quell the mastery
of time over the inflationary
object of political flattery

combined with

the procrastination and doubt
that subdues the shout
a voice to kick them out
for what it’s all about

results in

disappointment with foreboding
as we see the cameras they’re loading
and the freedoms eroding
with our patience exploding

the will

let the darkness of forever fall
and the incalculable separation

yet where there is naught
rises opportunity for doubt

perhaps only in imagination
can the uncertainty exist
and so a mind
might thus sustain

as the present soars asunder
in firmaments of the distance
we have in spaces and spells
look further

for then needs will marshal the will
and the remarkable could save souls

where

where is your forever now
in this universe of emptiness
and platitudes
where have you gone
as the very light fails to stretch
between expanding eyes
where are the bonds
linking elementary lovers
in the eternal romantic night
where can we turn
as diminishing substance
transforms into ether
where once again
all has become nothing
waiting for something
