Poised atop creations pillar
I see the world forming, changing,
before me, beneath me,
across a multitude of shores
Boundless plains of furtive wonder,
shamefully, only few will ever truly know
Absorbing all this revolving orb has to share,
is the realisation that words scattered,
in anger, unacknowledged love, or benign worry,
pale in the face of this view from life's zenith.
