Arc - a photo on Flickriver

Arc

            imagine
a timeless falling
resolute and fearless
an inverse levitation
an imperceptible
leaning into the abyss
a creeping like stone
through a continuum 
of geologic time
an open embrace 
of earth and air
and infinite possibility
each aching increment
of its millennial arc
an unseen flight subtle 
beyond all knowing
until at softest touch 
of muffled snowflake
in dark and in silence
a release so discordantly 
sudden...
wisps of dreamtime
and stardust
waft over the void
for time beyond
the spark of our
little lives
