Between You and I

Harmony rings
When tensioned string
Neither loosely bound
Nor overly wound

Between extremes 
Life and death 
At last breath... 

Polynucleotides bound
In-coiled around,
Helix paired
Macromolecular cipher

... When, mid
Unit of time
Planck defined?

Where all is center
What surrounds?
When all within 
What enters?

Auld Acquaintance Forgot

Wrought by hand
Shall not long stand
When reckoned 
By eternal. 

Fore thrice had crowed
The cockerel, 
And the reaping 
Of denarii sowed, 
Truth betrayed, 
Compassion waylaid. 
 
Millenia thence,  
Mans’ offense,
Heart’s recompense.
By eternal beckoned, 
To  eternal reckoned. 

Domains of man
Lie neath the sands
Of cyclic time and 
Doctrines mimed 
Without the seed 
of divine creed. 

Millenia hence, 
Heart’s offense,
Mans’ recompense. 
By eternal reckoned,
To eternal beckoned. 

Unbound

Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,
ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them

An eternal ring binds
the conceptual mind. 
While
In fellowship's might 	
Burns freedom's light.
By
Middle way found
Go those unbound, 
With abundance, midst dearth
Those bound to Middle Earth.
