Timeless Existence


Timeless Existence

This perishable year is racing

toward its exit. With its closure

there is hope and regret, perhaps

not of equal measure. Above and

beyond the Universe hums and strums.

A chronology of birth and of death

anniversaries and annulled

expectations occur and fade, a

glimmering wisp of electrified

thought and aspiration. The sphere

that is our refuge is steeped in

conflict, mountains shed their

carapaces, volcanoes their interiors

the seas rise at the command of

wind and stars. There is no 

permanence, hence scant comfort.

Yet Nature assures us existence

is timeless, though mortals not.
