<verse>

As old as the hills
As young as the river
As quiet as a gale
As loud as grass
As weak as a tree
As powerful as a dormouse
Less than zero
Greater than infinite
Always said
Never spoken
Bright white dark
Blackest light
The tallest cave
The deepest mountain
Horrifically beautiful
Allure profane
Never eternal
Forever temporary
Valued rarely
Precious nothing
Born ancient
Dies new
Eris organised
Disordered mathematically
Magic scientific
Logically poetic
Weird is life
Basic is It
The god we are
Who doesn’t exist
</verse>
