If this should never end–
This wandering in oblivious mood
Along a rutless road that leads
From wood to deeper wood–
This crunching with unheedful foot
Acorns, I think, and withered leaves …
Perhaps a rotten root–
If this should never end–
This seeing with insentient eyes
Something that seems like earth, and, too,
Like overbending skies;
This feeling, well–that time is space,
Space, time; and each a pallid glass
In which Life sees her face–
If it should never end–
The road, the wandering and the feel
Of dead infinities that seem
O’er our dead sense to steal,
And like seas cease above–
Would it much matter, love?
(Cale Young Rice)
