The Grahamburglar Poet Free verse

More Than the Eye Can See

Clinging at the boundary of the universe;
if it can be called a boundary at all,
is an androgynous infinity whose murmurous echo 
ripples the silence of ancient marble corridors.
The once sonorous booming, a mere relic, yet
etched still in the arcane runes of forgotten civilizations;
encoded, lies dazzling truth, gorgeous and universal,
appreciated no more beyond mysticism or the surreal.
Yet it clings, desperate to exist
Where no eye shall behold,
and none shall find,


…save the listeners.

Michelle Mac Donald May 8, 2016 at 2:52 PM Oh, I do love this "...silence of ancient marble corridors", makes me wonder who had walked them before, and what had their thoughts been. I'm trying not to think of "the listeners".:) Keep well, this is an amazing write! Mikki

Andrea Dietrich May 1, 2016 at 8:52 PM Oh my gosh what you did with those words, in such a succinct manner. Outstanding! The Grahamburglar May 2, 2016 at 6:25 PM Succinct is not usually my forte; I think I'm far more likely to be accused of being loquacious. Nevertheless, I appreciate you taking the time to stop by, read and comment. =) -G
