Tireless Universe

Tireless Universe by Odin Roark Time defies denial, Knowing well its empirical presence Will never be of absence. Dense as its surrounding matter, Its aged archives remain Forever fortressed beneath passage and growth, Like termite mounds of tunneled journeys, A labyrinth of cosmic dust Forever of remnant coatings Upon endless bell tolling posterity. Here within the maze of stellar nurseries, Time’s infinite presence passes through our microcosm As we attempt to aggrandize selfhood Beyond its limitations. Like the beam of a miner’s lamp, Our import seeks to impact the void, While this depth of immense profundity Reveals our illuminative essence As more akin to a spark of flint Confronting the revelation of existence. Perhaps… Somewhere beyond our consciousness, Smiles mix with duration’s yawn, Humoring the metaphysical malady of rest deprivation. After all, Like time, Existence has never slumbered. Such a tireless universe this.
