The path between gulfs of the dark and the steeps of the light;

The path like a snake that is gone, like the length of a fuse to ignite

The substance of shadow, that bursts and explodes into sight.

I am here undeparting. I sit tight

Between wings of the endless flight,

At the depths of the peace and the fight.

Deep in the moistures of peace,

And far down the muzzle of the fight

You shall find me, who am neither increase

Nor destruction, different quite.
