Acceptance

[Metrice]

There is no gift without service.

Eyes clash against the infinite, cast out towards celestial wonders. Forcefully witness to countless existences spiraling into the chaos of possibility. The totality of twisted understanding only serving as glimpses towards the shattering pane of reality.
 
Watching as blurred acceptance overtakes inconsequential admittances. How many countless lifetimes tumble throughout the spanning cosmos. How many falter at their peak, fall as they reach beyond themselves. How many flicker to nonexistence prior to their culmination. Now standing before what was; what is, the infinite chasm of potentiality beckoning with a twisted grin.
 
How can one claim purpose when their soul stands fractured unceasingly throughout eternity. How can one life bleat of its importance when they’ve a myriad mirrored fragmentations screaming the opposite.
 
Eyes, splintered beyond recognition. Witness to all, observer of none. A flame of meaning left without its call. Now but a spark upon the horizon’s graceful tides. A cry burning against the evening’s squall, silent to countless beholden. Who are we to chant our meaning, our song towards the heavens; when countless sing to unturned ears. Hearts hardened in agonizing entropy. Emboldened therein, claimed by the maddening loss of autonomy.
 
Hearts softened by tribulation, open, awaiting their symphony. Dancing joyously upon the eve’s gale. So, we walk within the winter’s moon. Only to peak the spring’s horizon. Watching till ebbing flow of dawn swallows fleeting dusk. Till the calmed purpose gifts its final woe. Till the flickering light of distant shores fades with the calls of an ivory morn.

 

Such acceptance comes with a price.

 
Void of alabaster, tinged in fragmented ebon. Vestiges worming betwixt kaleidoscopic understanding. Watching the fleeting claims burn ceaselessly, ranting to voices silenced in melancholy. Golden tinges aflutter, twirling downwards in rains of delusion. Clarity obscured, translucently obfuscated within dwindling recognition.
 
Brilliance evanesced, enclosed by fleeting comprehension. The harmonious wonder dulled under perpetual befuddlement, baffling such to encircling ignorance. Only catching glimpse of the unity left rent. Tossed asunder beneath collapsing walls.
 
Lost to a soul stumbling in desiccated splendor. Ashen remnants softened with the hammering of Time’s tempest. Pristine ivory fractured and quaking, as wisped meaning coalesces. Flashes burst forth, shimmering amidst the encroaching night. Repose laden upon weary fields, their incandescence but remembrance to a passerby.
 
Now with haze of clarity, utterances spilt freely. Droplets raining from the cauldron of proficiency. Then does the scholar write their finality, radiance fleeting against the illuminated sky. Now there, relish in gifts unseen for lives continued. Now there, ready for deprivation enwrapped in soothing thrums.
 
So then, with certainty dashed stand composed. Respite’s reticent equanimity now draped as wings of blessing. Reach forth, entrust that beating defiance knows only penitence. Rivulets congregate, draining there apropos entropic resignation.
 
Slumber in nightfall’s last chorus, knowing the gloaming isles stand awash in fledgling forenoon. Unlax in impermeable dormancy, quieten awareness with consciousness enlightened. Unequaled inheritance remains, survived surrounded by such finality.
 

Was it enough?

 
Palace of sound foundations, how long you’ve stood quieten as you witness. How the world has braved steadfast, awash in ruinous indifference. Seeing the span of history cyclically retreating into possibility. Where now does this Palace lie, buried, crumbling as it lay. Encumbered with worries, drowned in songs unsung.
 
There witness to the once proud foundations, there witness to majesties claimed by encroaching midnight. Awe befell the crowded, awash with innumerable eulogized. Then honored bedrock deteriorates. Once exalted now pallid, succumbed despite their resilliance. So now, we as witness accept peerless endowment. Brilliance cascades across ebbing half-light, cresting upon the uninterrupted horizon.
 
Argent and ebon waltz in circuitous serenity. There, affixed upon gloaming skies. Now stand bequest, here your primogeniture. Perpetually such resplendence glistens, shown eternal upon listless islets.
 
Palace of forgotten foundations, how long you stood quieted as you witnessed. How the world had endured, washed in ruinous indifference. Diligence rewarded, draped in reticence earned. Interminable languor gifted unbroken repose, paling to nonexistence. Nary a memory, fading outright.
