Beyond!

Heed the mariner's warning!
Forsake not the omen of the albatross!
Ware the eddying pool. . .


Whilst thou set sail on a sea of midnight fancy?
Too suffer journey perilous and risk watery death in a storm of sundered souls.
Charybdis hath no mercy and Scylla no remorse.
Lay your lips upon the Siren's offered kiss and inhale.
Cherish the eternal breath.

Do not stare too long!
Abandon the hope of found reflection!
Ware the invisible appearance of vanity.

Whilst thou gaze into the Seer's pool.
Too seek a vision's wisdom and risk blindness in the dark of prophecy undone.
Apollo is capricious in his whim and Delphi has no master.
Place your forehead upon the cold stone in obeisance.
Endure the lack of knowing.

Try not the Fates!
Grasp the length of life's thread!
Beware the freedom of will.

Beyond.
