the multiverse before me spreads.
on this vast strand of cosmic threads
my soul now stands in joy and dread.
lost and found in goddess' hands;
on this vast strand my soul now stands.

by ignorance i am struck dumb.
i, insensate (deaf, blind and numb),
must contemplate; the myst'ries plumb.
as is and is not variegate
i, insensate, must contemplate.
20.2.12

a cinquain refrain [link]

the title is also the working title for my fantasy novel.

Wow. I love the repetitive form, you pulled it off wonderfully!

I am always trying to expand my perception of the world(s)... this reminds me of how we look with pity at times upon the "deaf, blind and numb" and yet we ourselves are the same in so many ways. Plus, those characteristics are simply a lack of something we believe we couldn't live without... though apparently some people can ;)

Great job, I really enjoyed this and it will keep me thinking for a long time!
