shadows may ever revolve
fixed on incandescent lure
etching vale upon this visage
mending rent flesh acumen
seasons set to solitude
may shed like threads abuzz with youth
once wont to squander
banded by kindred tune
tangibly transcending realms
filaments familially forged
harmony as resonant
as fulgurant bellow strikes anew
in those ebbing hours tumult
tones educing distant stages
tempering in tides of triumph
coalescing quests of truth
this cage of wrapped diminish
travels onward tethered still
harbored by amity’s repose
sowing song eternal
Max, or Not
