@1LFD: Point taken. In the end everything is in the mind of the beholder.

Hopefully not, imagination is the truest escape. I'm thinking of Mandela in his cell,

@D G Moody: Thank you for such a detailed comment. I do realise that this poem can be interpreted in several ways, but at the moment of its conception - when my pen first hit the paper as such - it had one meaning. What happened after that I cannot say. I frequently think that words come from somewhere else than in my brain, but that's another story as the saying goes. :)

This poem works for me on several levels. I immediately liked the subtle rhyming - that alone makes it memorable. Then there is what it is saying to me as the reader; and is it what the author intends, or does he leave it to me to take my own meaning? Is it repetition as a mind state - 'that there is no end' just again and again, the same way forever? Um...? I'll need to let it sink in further.

Very nicely written, Allen. The looseness of your rhyming reminds me of Hopkins. I consider that to be a compliment.
