An Eternity Ii

And I begin my own steep climb into The Chalkland Downs Where none but stiff blast and Continous drone, Warbling chants from drifting curlew, Muffled and alarmed bleats from Scattered flocks of confused and Wandering sheep - Home to the ancient Guardians! And still the blustering winds, Blowing hence Time-Immemorial, Eroding into disapproving frowns Etched on every crumbling brow And sharp escarpment of balding peak; Here all meddlesome tribes of men Are held in equal contempt By these benign Spirits Secured far above the bustling and Intrusive sounds; Scrupulously bearing witness To mundane existence of shabby Lives - Disorganised and unkempt! Every day noise slowly detaching, Floating absently upwards - Forever removed from the creeping Sprawl Of pretty seaside towns. Nothing but a void - An inestimable void of invisible Owl Whose serrated flight shuns the Chaotic hours of Humankind; A great void whose voluminous Updraft Could quite easily inflate the Narrowing corridors Of a wearied and depleted mind; Above, hurrying nonchalantly, And, somewhat, dismissively by:- The outlined caricature of Silhouetted clouds Weakly traced against the dreadful Expanse Of a vast grassland sky! ...And thus I find myself wondering, What now of abandoned promises? Pledges, once earnestly sworn, Callously disowned and then thrown Aside? Thee unpalatable stigma of this Undeserving unworthiness! How easy words are to utter - What an utter confoundment When one tragically feels so Compelled To irretrievably renege on all such Solemn vows! This bellowing furore that does, At an instant, Most strangely, inwardly roar As if enraged like a muted, Pebble-tossing sea! Sudden squalling gusts, slamming Into the car, Appearing, apparently, from out of Nowhere To vigourously assault unto the Angry columns of towering air; The tumultuous display of Heavens Showering Firmaments... Finally, at last - arraigned enmasse! ...Then...a subdued wail that wails Amidst a wailing silence... Which, more and more, Oh so ever disconcertingly... As if a lamentation for happier Moments long since past... Would seem to emanate from within The very depths me! Me...me...driving...all alone... Helplessly trapped in an Infinitely immeasurable, Solitary, brown-coloured bottle of Beer - For all of a damnable eternity!!
