too long have you gazed into the abyss …..

it has taken notice of you

and gazed back in turn

a dark look considers you with thoughtfulness

borne of unnumbered centuries

time’s passage; countless

both ancient and calm

a quiet consciousness

derived from deep and sober pondering

which springs from dreamy darkness

to draw in you its own depth of feeling

and make you and it one.

do you the strength possess

to draw away from the teetering chasm

and turn away, turn away again?
