Newel of the Hel(l)ical

Ascend
Descend
Transcend
To boldly go
Where no man
Has gone?
Or to foolishly rot
Where no man
Wants…not?

It twists
It turns
It's straight
As can be
Rolled into one
The paths of
Destiny

Ascent
Descent
Transcendent
A translucent
And transient
Transition?
Or thorough
Transformation?

It's almost
As if
The world
Is Eucharistic
The way
It should not

Ascend
Descend
Transcend
The past
The present
The future
The life
The death
The ever after
