Thrown out of place and out of time

alone and without dignity

for nearness to another's crime

regardless of affinity,

who'd brave the wastes without dire need?

Who'd live to see such passions seed?

What hope is there without the sight

of one more dawn to follow night?

Your logic says all things must pass;

there is nought which springs eternal,

winter shall replace the vernal.

Yet, you see not how all things pass;

the birthing of a history,

near-boundless as a mystery.
