Caverns Measureless to Man
“Caverns Measureless to Man”
If you came here looking for a good time
you missed the detour sign
illumination of another’s world
once shared, is a sacred Halloween
that leads you wondering lost forever
through caverns measureless to man
what’s behind you is too dark to turn around
what’s in front of you, pulls you forward eternally
so, you are caught up in the rhyme of it all
and as if in a dream, your curious nature -
that which resides within you, calls you further in
all warnings ignored
illumination of another’s world
once shared, is a sacred Halloween
that leads you wondering lost forever
through caverns measureless to man
all warnings ignored
Candide Diderot. ‘25
“The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves”
