compassion 

is a rain 

that falls from the future 

passing back through time 

to touch the minds 

and the hearts 

of all its battered children 

while brutality 

climbs from ancient rock 

stealing fire 

from the original gods 

and using it 

to light its way 

this is the dance 

of the ever-ending forever 

the never-ending endeavour 

of every thing 

greeting every other 

in every infinite, impossible way 

it is the soft song 

of the universe  

in division & chorus 

passing into itself 

in perpetuity 

—the melody 

of the primitive 

meeting the empyrean 

—the absolution  

of polarity 

into bliss  

and non-existence 

through the dance  

of existence itself
