Sonnet To Schism

As these long-stifled clouds part
Across the indigo sky,
Tears purge the nimbus 'way dry,
From my dearest desire's heart.
  Ascending to noble serenity
Through the stygian unknown;
Breaking through Everest’s stone
Forever-- or at least eternity. 
  Although all of the windows may
Open, and briskly circulate,
Like blood clots they articulate:
The seal shall never break away.
  Alas, the only truth a man
May know is the honest candor
That there may not exist answers
To any of the questions spokén.
  To the yarns of fate resign
  Despite free-will’s coy rhyme.
