Soulful strand
______________

Somewhere in the wings, I'm waiting:
peering through the crevices
of this crustacean shell I'm wearing,
glimsping lightward helices
that promise one day to unwind
with fission of the vast divine.

       Patience, child — for your vision
       is so narrow, wants concision:
       passing on will teach you such,
       until that day there is not much
       that I, or any other can
       relay to you — yet take my hand
       in spirit, and too, shed the shell
       encumb'ring you — and mark the knell:
       illusion falls, yet you still stand
       unborn, undying — soulful strand.
