Doubt & Hope

Twin peaks of infinite thirst 
moulded by ancient, forgotten gods;
Doubt and hope, keep watch on life
And like dawn and dusk,  
Relate neither to time nor space 

Millions of gods have been crushed 
When heavens churned and roads
leading up to those peaks perished 
Uncounted pennies have been minted 
One day's loot, just enough for the next

Treasures, pleasures, lives; gained
In the inner sanctum of one or the other 
At times one is lost in cloud shadows 
Of past lives and an unrepentant present
Or in mystic mountain sunsets. But always 

Doubt and hope, like thought and word
Remain as heavy paperweights do
Keeping together the unwritten pages of 
Life's pointless lengthy short tales 
Your story and mine, together or alone
