Indefinite Soul-Extension

Eyereflector Throwing back a symbol Of dark transparency And shadows rendered pale Strangulated microcosm Cracked mirror of the soul Spirit changed beyond recognition Tarnished and frail Wakefulness or an allusive dream? Seeking shelter in a maze Bearing witness to the unforeseen Vanishing without a trace. Returning to the end Of all that will not mend A thousand griefs transcend Recover and extend

Deathlike rebirth Another passage being razed Symptomatical third-degree burns Inmost nature set ablaze Commit to the fire-submit to desire Degeneration of an everlasting Struggle within Aftermath of vast proportions Ending all therein Enigmatic regeneration Avalanche-like Structural mutations By cycles of uncertainty Pulling the wires And taking its breath away Burnt between two fires Last resort Without a parallel Transformation of fear Accidental occurrence Or just frailty? Buried-to-be Won't last another day Expiring at dusk Leaving an existence void behind. Not ever rising Never going down Insistent delusion Not ever darksome Never full of light Persistent illusion Not ever falling Never holding out Existent delusion Not ever intact Never left undone Resistant illusion Breathing its last Embers of dispiritment An amaranth in the ashes Yet a turn has come to pass

Strong resemblance Promotion Destructive final turn Days gone by Consigned to oblivion Now once again in bloom The no longer existing Has been brought back to life Primordial confusion Struck just to be lost anew Lasting contortions Abiding discord In the depths of reanimation Seeking release Undecided Subsistence In quest of constancy Nature of a delicate structure A broken reed Dark affinity-misgiving A dire lash of wind Pointing out the close at hand The calm before the storm Falling through Overthrown Fearful calling to mind At first sight Biding time Lying in wait for the eclipse Of what can't be set right The mist is slowly lifting Exposing newborn sprouts Remains of failure Standing out

Freed from impurity Washed away Is the fall of innernight The veil once drawn over This festering void No longer needed In order to preserve Shadows close Gasping for breath There's a new era dawning Beginning today The sands of yesterday Beyond repair Empty of guidance Pastime To lay in the grave Empty of lead Never again Reduced to nothing Empty of guidance Recollections dressed in black The future is taking heed Phase of revulsion Dark are the lights Burning out Ceasing to be End of the weight Putting off reality Turned into ash Is the sun Cremating Strength Source of belief Setting in Rising at length

Salvation Rescue work at heart Out of the darkness And into the light Revelation Making whole inside No longer riding for a fall Seasons About to come to nothing Bled and laid aside for aye Reasons All buried in oblivion Dead? Ever to arise? Incision Essence cut in pieces Deleted Replaced and improved Amelioration Making whole inside No longer riding for a fall

Ethereal stronghold Metempsychosis nocturne Labyrinthian transition The spirit shifting shape Resurrectional final event Subconscious denial In contradiction with the soul At birth dying Inimical days to be seen, no more Closing in upon Another coming into life Undergoing change The now passing left behind Presentness all gone A second entry making strife Here and out of range The intermediate stage defined If no-one turned around when we entered, answered when we spoke, or minded what we did, and if every person we met cut us dead, and acted as if we were non-existing things, a kind of rage and impotent despair would ere long well up in us, tortures would be a relief; for these would make us feel, however bad might be our plight, we had not sunk to such depth as to be unworthy of attention at all (William James 1890) Easily broken This tower of drastic turns Re-established mortar Cardinal collapse Resurrectional final event

Torn out pages Inked with grief From a blackened chapter Of disbelief A new beginning Taking rise Spit forth from failure Descendant of demise Fragments Of what used to be Now riding on a dying wind Vanquished and forsaken In the twilight set aside Stillborn dreams No longer In the process Of beheading hope Turning frailty inside out The vital force resumed

In the depths of duration Far away from a close The extension of yet another Ending shows Loss of time by the hour Seasons scattered to the winds From the dying of tomorrow Wearing thin Never to return What is said to be Will not come to pass Tides no longer turn What is yet to be Will not last Changes of little moment For the better or the worse? Into what is of no more, In reverse On the verge of existence One more rise, falling through Where the bloom of ever-enduring Now once grew.
