2005-05-04 - hallowed hollow hard to swallow

I still remember that hollow feel
the one that I perceived as real
when the civilizations fell
each one went through their own hell
but there were enclaves
in the dark caves
pockets of resistance
somewhere in the distance...

the guarded portal

we're not immortal

in carnal modes of change

the disconnection

of sweet protection

at first it all seemed strange

the universe had cooled
and we could not be fooled
towers of technology
like Babel in the knowledge we
took so much for granted
the demon seed was planted
and cursed within the soil
of vanity and toil

so much wiser then
Atlantis and the miser men
treasures lost and found again
spirits of the denizen
the deep and all her Sheol host
haunting like a restless ghost
cavitating in the churn
some just waiting for the burn
the entropy of secret fire
the end of all that must expire
the showdown of the last empire
what comes to pass
what men desire
in the crevasse
of magma fire
burping up its methane gases
ships in typhoon frantic passes
one returns to file report
one was swallowed keel to port
bow to stern
and hull to mast
nothing learned
and nothing passed
rumored tales of latitudes
sargasso weed and flotsam broods
jettisoned horses in the feud
ships deflagged, defrocked, de-crewed

civilizations rise and fall
each one conquers and stands tall

destined to the rubble mound
regimes lost and trouble found
death doomed, tossed and mortal bound
covered in the underground

I still remember that hollow feel
but now I know God's love is real
