If the opening lines refer to the measurement of the space-time continuum by means of the LIGHT-YEAR measurement, the fourth line truncates the cosmic scope by the phrase FINITE DISTANCES. Then your poem presents a metaphor of an iron door opening/shutting, in any case, revealing a dour scene of solitude amid graves and monuments, which all suggest a dead past, or dying present. Is this vision similar to Matthew Arnold's we are CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO WORLDS, ONE DEAD, THE OTHER STRUGGLING TO BE BORN?
