Prospero: A change in tides

I deny my denial.
This act over, the curtain drawn
From thy path now mine shall sway.
The island bed unshaken still
Some players gone, some makes their way.

A nook afloat in quenchless void,
A life rimmed in space and time.
I craft my reason. Reason to live.
Save persistence, nothing's mine?

Faced with void I seeded art,
Existence breeds in duality.
My best toil will fill one urn,
Harrowingly another echoes empty.

No auteur did trace out the flow,
Stuck, it meanders with a bend.
Let not my charms be o'erthrown
Let me devise till my end.

Imprudent seems the change in tides
Hence I must brave without thee.
Adieu, my friends, forgiven foes,
Away but in heart thou shall be.

All is gone but the empty rows
Time usurps what it did bring.
A restless wind knocks the theater door.
A Tempest over, another brooding.
