Counsel assumptions not ill-contrived
For I aspire towards clear foreknowledge
Of which limited vision leaves men deprived
While dwelling opposite eternity's ledge
Beyond well meaning intention answer this
Shall sight pass over golden aura as then
Or am I to surrender unto abyss
Never to behold beauty ever again?

Never surrender. A very well thought piece to provoke the mind.

It almost sounds like your are asking if you are heaven bound, or doomed by your sins? It may help to know, if one could still make atonement...???

This was very deep, and almost dark. It has a lot of depth in it; I could feel every word. It also has fantastic imagery. Tell me if I'm wrong, but does the question mean that you could look back in the past, or know the future and ruin the beauty of surprise?
A great take on the prompt; good luck in the contest!

Very simple and elegant. This was extremely deep and very well written... though I sort of missed the question... what is it you are asking?

It's between me and the oracle. Though it actually is in the poem. Besides you would never believe it.

-
Well I'm not certain how to judge this then.
