Efflux of Eternity

Up the incline of delicate dale of the verdant life,
blazing the curved canvas of the sensuous sky,
rising from the hollowness of the halcyon horizon
the shimmer of sun's spectrum slides on passion. 

Cascading down the contours of valley of dream,
the sparkling lonely stream meanders mesmerized
across the arcane mindscape framed in obscurity,
in the backdrop of twilight visage of fading time.

The sluggish stream flows on the plateau of silence
in the final stretch of its ordained course designed,
to the confluence of calm fusion with caressing sea, 
waiting to wrap it with ecstasy of the rolling waves. 

In the sanguine sea suffused with setting sunrays, 
the veneer of vermilion paints the pale tides of time.
The efflux of extricated eternity from deep within
glides with the serene soul into benign bay of bliss.
