Behind the Mask, Help Avoided - Stream of Consciousness

greedy, hungry, devouring
the passage
of time
fooling us
a life forever
the round clock
ticking
each measure
happening at once

we are in the center
we could ascend
from the center
into the all
the everything
eternity
the ancient future
the far flung past

existing
and collapsing
no death
no life
just forever
eternity
now
continuing forever

it is working
the mass
behind the mask
the red forest
and it's beauty
attained
