Tireless Universe

As fact-based consensus continues to be harassed by belief-based opinion, one might argue that man has so distorted reality that delusions are slowly creating the deep sleep of extinction. (Image - Hu

Tireless Universe
                    by Odin Roark

Time defies denial,
Knowing well its empirical presence
Will never be of absence.

Dense as its surrounding matter,
Its aged archives remain
Forever fortressed beneath passage and growth,
Like termite mounds of tunneled journeys,
A labyrinth of cosmic dust
Forever of remnant coatings
Upon endless bell tolling posterity.

Here within the maze of stellar nurseries,
Time’s infinite presence passes through our microcosm
As we attempt to aggrandize selfhood
Beyond its limitations.

Like the beam of a miner’s lamp,
Our import seeks to impact the void,
While this depth of immense profundity
Reveals our illuminative essence
As more akin to a spark of flint
Confronting the revelation of existence.

Perhaps…

Somewhere beyond our consciousness,
Smiles mix with duration’s yawn,
Humoring the metaphysical malady of rest deprivation.

After all,
Like time,
Existence has never slumbered.

Such a tireless universe this.

I liked how you explain this narrative...and the way you put things in one collective statement in the ending of your verse...the usage as time is a measurement...does not exist...yet existence -- which is all around us --- does --- and does not have the luxury to sleep...or rest for that matter...and we just happen to live in this circle of a mass...ever expanding...yet always dying at the same time...transforming becoming and back again...

but i have a query from childhood that space is a vacuum and vacuum means nothing so how there could be a hole inside nothing called black hole ????
