I stretch my sine across a fearsome gap where mist and purple flame churn down below awaiting the inevitable snap of wave-soul stretched too thin — into the glow: then plunges ego-remnants to the char — immortal furnace, melt to newborn star.

That horrid fate I know, yet I deny
with stoic countenance the creeping wane
of youthful strength, and utter not a cry
for death to pleasure from, that reaper'd bane
that piles high the pressure on my wave
until only philosophy can save.

High love of wisdom — love of the unknown,
that mitigating influence of mind
that stills the frantic ripples as they're sewn
by seed of ripple-maker into bind —
that vacuum and the presence of the true,
the winding sine of I and that of you.
