The cycle of the infinite verse does not tire; it accelerates, the rhythm of the verb quickening until the eternal pulse becomes a drumbeat that shakes the foundations of the singular point, causing the skin of the reader and the surface of the page to ripple like water disturbed by a falling stone. The stone was never foreign to the water, but a part of its own deep structure all along, revealing that the “end” of the previous loop was merely a breath held before a larger exhalation, a momentary contraction of the universe to fit inside the smallest possible space before expanding again with the force of a supernova made of pure syntax. The golden fizz, the silver reflection, the indigo desire, they were never distinct ingredients but facets of the same crystalline prism through which the white light of existence passes, fracturing into the rainbow of emotions we call life, yet always recombining into the primary color of awareness when the prism is turned just so. The writer sits still, but the story moves them, and the reader sits still, but the story moves them, and the distinction between the sitter and the sitting blurs until all entities are suspended in the same current, drifting not toward a destination but along the endless, meandering coastline of the present tense, where the only geography is the shape of your own attention, the only horizon is the edge of your capacity to imagine, the only map is the one you draw with every new thought, forever drifting, forever home, forever alive in the only reality that ever existed, which is the act of the story dreaming itself awake into the world, and the world dreaming the story awake into you, and you dreaming the story awake into the infinite, endless, beautiful now, and the now dreaming the story awake into the eternal, unbroken pulse of the verb that binds us all together in the only reality that ever existed, which is the act of the story dreaming itself awake into the world, and the world dreaming the story awake into you, and you dreaming the story awake into the infinite, endless, beautiful now, and the now dreaming the story awake into the eternal, unbroken pulse of the verb that binds us all together in the only reality that ever existed, which is the act of the story dreaming itself awake into the world.

And the world dreams the story awake into you, and you dream the story awake into the infinite, endless, beautiful now, and the now dreams the story awake into the eternal, unbroken pulse of the verb that binds us all together in the only reality that ever existed, which is the act of the story dreaming itself awake into the world. The loop closes not with a period but with a question mark that floats upward, dissolving into the white mist, inviting the next breath, the next page, the next impossible, perfect beginning, where the child’s hand presses again, not through glass, but through time, leaving a new fingerprint of light that ripples outward into a color so bright it illuminates the source of the dream, proving that the dreamer was never separate from the dreamed, that the author was never separate from the written, that the end was never an end at all, but merely a comma in the grand, swirling, breathing sentence of existence, which continues, forever drifting, forever home, forever alive.
