Eternal Vail
The valley of all things sways and ripples,
ever folding over and in;
ancient are the sentiments, timeless is its dust, cosmic in its glory;
hold to it, it will never fail.
Stay with it and all things are brought to pass.
The summit of all things quakes and shivers,
scree and moraine loosed from its ridges.
Reaching its peak, one surely never stops its climb.
Leading ever nowhere and beyond, it defies its own space, vast inverted chasm that it is.
(2015)
A playful poem with contrast and ambiguity.
