Curiosity engages the vacancies of the untried
as witness to the approach
of one who lacks age
a substantial towering
of monumental proportions
adds to its form of facial
deformities
an array of craters and cavities
but naught of great numbers
lest it be the wherewithal of its collapse
The grandeur of its magnificence takes full length to
behold still, the youth takes a forwarding claim
to necessitate the closure
of what lies beyond the cliffs that bars its way
and the sounds resounding ever so oft
from thunderous roar to a whimpering whisper
the grounds of which shall naught be abated.
Inquisitiveness is a force of nature, in and of itself
it resolves issues blindly, nevertheless,
answers become forthwith,
thus, stabilizing one's furtherance of knowledge.
A tattered walkway clings to the sides of the amassed,
as the impatient cross ravines
then welcomes precautionary efforts
as it takes a pace of assuredness.
A clear day augments expectations
of the clamoring yet to be discovered
and finally to be taken in
by the whole spectacle
that anxiously awaits
just over the ridge.
Alive at last,
truly invigorating
absorbed in the traces
that are set far and away
where baited bittered mounds in ascension
harboring leave of sheltered horizon seize
gathering a livelier presence
ever forwards.
Thrusting motion headlong
nigh fleeting crest
as feigning past o'er the deeper chasms bight.
An unrecognized tributary
vigorously rouses stimulation
and pockets its endeavors
for a day to ponder
as a performance unfolds
staged for one of many
in the deliverance of pleasure and desired pain.
The mounting seas take no pleasure in its rise nor
does a drowning man ...
be so the chronology of exuberance
awaits the appointed
quill,
... the life preserver.
