Life at rainbows end

people come, they go pattern of lives loose-woven and unrecognised fate is just chance, some random coincidence of persons and events if pattern there is you and I could not see it too close and too faint life at rainbow’s end where primary colours blend all is black or white centrifugal force eliminating object irresistible continuum space time dimensions of the void sub-atomic id Caliban’s quantum leap into complexity fire of libraries overpowering me animal of my present genetic heirloom dismal winter storms insignificant fury nothing better than ever present death season before our rebirth losing its savour reason’s reborn rage calculating cold revenge dying souls’ repast age wearies my soul while my body fights its fate no satisfaction life at matter’s end particles planning to change me for other forms life at reason’s end what has sense to do with age when death annuls it life at senses’ end midnight panic blind terror soul, be calm – live on time now to take stock I am autumn, winter looms inevitably time now to nurture keep my body hard and strong soul in the clear air time now to find peace let me soul in stillness cease body find release guide me spirit guide body to dust, soul to void life at rainbow’s end
