The Endless Spiral

Every revelation

Was written in the stars long before

To challenge the account of lived experience

Separate strands of being are not a shared reality

And so to perceive our course

One must exist outside of its bonds

Tangential lives

Spiral ever in ‘til their demise

Our seething hearts drift atop the flow

Warped by introspection, beyond all recognition

Digressive lines dissipate

Touching only briefly if at all

To stay the fall

And if this cosmic wheel could narrate

Who would know the text but the author, the other?

Lucretius' javelin

Penetrates the fog

A chance encounter with infinity

The omnipresent past

Becomes the launching pad

So spread your wings towards the edge

Towards the edge of everything

Lost in the vast periphery

To seek the answer to the puzzle of our lives

In his elegant repose

Was existence paralleled?

Did we idly dream the world

Our heaven and their hell?

Ancient logic thus demands

That all life come to its end

But the spiral ever delves

And the sky anew ascends...
