Span of Space
This span of space asks no due
except to ponder what’s really true
between the panic of the lie
and the path that many try
kings and fools both relent
desiring only to be content
with the outcome few deny
the brilliant source of inner fire
locked behind walls of iron
are the roots of lost desire
inaccessible except for doors
too often confused for floors
moving downward to ascend
the distance traveled has no end
until the passions are finally quelled
when enchantments are dispelled.
