Precipice

quickly racing flowing smooth plane of glass unchanging be reflects above bowl of blue castles flying may be seen bits of crystal in matrix tight foraged in fire before time buried deep beyond light and forever it will be born of fire burning hot flying high wild and free heat released into the night forever lost flown away endless tearing pulling free denied not in relentless time stone reduced and destroyed bits of sand flow away ‘tis unchanged beyond sight something that forever has defined in frozen stone unchanging like the earth and sky rushing torrent falling free flying high upon the breeze flashing like crystal jewels rainbows scattered in the light pool deep of icy cold turbulent currents flow about massive stones buried within now unchanging once again endless time not frozen be yet too slow for eye to see crystals flash in flowing stream pieces that time carries away forever stood within the stream parting breaking relentless be bone of earth within the sky as unchanging as flow of time one too many does break free crystal flashing torn away tremble does so tiny be minuet tremble growing be tipping sliding breaking free with the flow carried be flight too brief it will be till the moment it will end quickly racing flowing smooth plane of glass unchanging be reflects above bowl of blue castles flying may be seen
