Mists of Chaos

             

Mists of Chaos

                Lost in the mists of chaos etheric time
         The answer resists the questing mind

         What motive force set elemental motions churning
         A myriad of lustrous energetic fires burning
         
         Who has written natures cosmic tome
         and rules commingling forces as they roam

         Does mindless chance unknowingly prevail
         Does the devil have a scaly crooked tail

         Upon the cyclic wheel of time unbounded
         Are souls forever chained and hounded

         Will death release us from fortunes wrack
         Shall our souls forerever wander back

         Struggling upward to reach true maturity
         Shall we be absorbed in night's eternity

         What goal justifies our earthly frame
         For endless struggle and realms insane
         
         Projecting with too anthropomorphic mind
         Upon the universe too real yet blind
         
         Who shall praise, proclaim our valiant fight
         With no almighty judge to affirm the right

         Shall the answer be revealed at last in time
         Or shall it be forever obscure, sublime.
