Machinations of the Mind

Destiny uncoils before me,
The horizon’s contents loom
What room for doubt?
Unalterably and inexplicably
Like eyes scanning the word,
Back and forth, back and forth
The end of the line is the last step
Before the beginning of another

It is only what is written that gives distinction:
An imprint by an unseen hand,
Taking the reader on a journey of the mind,
For what affects the mind affects the body
The macrocosm within the microcosm,
Each implication only felt at a certain level of abstraction

Omnivelocitational, no particle can rest
What is seen as death and life
Are temporary descriptors
Soon losing all meaning as the experience of the soul grows
Regarding the two as one
As dark follows the light
Eternity beckons

The consciousness of one affected by many others,
Energy flows through all
Consumed and converted as required
All feelings and emotions, attracted beacon-like
As a flower calls for pollination
The vitality is moved to build anew,
Retaining the imprint of its previous attractants

Springs are eternal,
A arcing velocity that cascades
Provoking its opposite in equality
Growth begins once more
From the dusted grounds of the cemetery
Making the end arbitrary
