                                     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.
