Nice job with the poem, dude An the picture is great as always

They go great together, and poem thoroughly draws a question, then an answer, although the top stanza's last 4 lines don't really fit it

~Everything so pure has slowly faded to a lesser shade of gray...~

Very interesting. Commenting on the philosophies and science of eternity is no easy task, but you conveyed the fundamental inability of humanity to understand the All very well. You also used the squared brackets in a pretty original way here, allowing for a double meaning.

I really have to disagree with Dahnza because I can see that you were commenting on the colour purple, which dominates the picture. Purple is also considered, symbolically and esoterically, a very important colour in philosophy and art. And the last part, a comment on the aesthetic value of beauty, is fitting in a response to visual art. So I believe those four lines in the first stanza do line up with the picture.

Great piece. It's going in my favourites.

hard words put togheter into non-sence sentences? i find no point in this poem more than the difficult words make it look 'cool'

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the piece, I'm quite glad you appreciated it. You grasped some key aspects of it quite well indeed.

_{The future belies your preconceptions...}

Thank you. The top stanza is very much like a key for the meaning of the rest, though.

Not a problem.
