Answer

 

We need a savior dearly.

But reaching for meaning,

the world becomes a great ghost

and shatters into fragments

betwixt our fingers desperation.

Now certainly clutching nothing,

certain irrevocable dissolution,

answer to the prayers

takes time to replenish

and provides a fountain in the abyss

from which we shall sip

and intoxicate involvement 

within pure eternity.

Again we see the great power

Again we see the great power your ing-suffixes promote and present.  I like the order in which you show the process:  from the need for a savior, through the shattering, the clutching, then the realization of irrevocable dissolution, leads to the prayers of replenishment which then provides a fountain of spiritual sustenance that leads to eternity.  This is an entire epic compressed in a few lines.  Callimachus and Cunningham are very likely applauding you right now.
