Times Question

Endless view, an eternal age, swirls of white and black,

Flow of a river in ceaseless time, currents running beneath,

Skies clear and empty yet filled with a snowy backdrop,

Never stopping, endless flowing, pushing eternally,

Sentinels standing guard, over and above, some light and many dark,

They scrape the sky and guard the earth, two worlds met by one,

Beauty captured, for eternity, always craving light,

Times currents plow, ever on, wearing down all passed,

Untouched, unscathed, gift or curse, forever’s question,

Endless view, an eternal age, blots of black and white.
