The Ever-changing Truth

_________________________________________________________________________

In this stale water

A myriad images dance ,

Of immortal love

Immaculate beauty ;

Also

Lowly , sunken

Rape of thought .

Quivering ,

Twisted forms of

Same undying yearning ,

Boundless of space

And time ;

The ageless

Turbid plasma of soul ;

Reflecting

The darkness

Of this futile search

And despair

Of derelict ,

Of blinded vision , and

All the decaying senses ;

In this stagnant water

Shadows lurk

Of death-inspired ridicule

Of mortal ken ;

The frantic search

Of the non – existent ,

The ever changing truth .
