blue speck glitter
undetermined
unrefined and unkempt
insolent by design
and unchallenged by the masses

discovers its red dot existence
unrehearsed
unknown and misunderstood
incredibly large and small
weaving logical negatives
fusing physical givens
detailing the unmistakeable mastery
of nothing.

within the crack
of the dragon’s fire
we reach the moment
of our desparate desire
and touch the edge
of what to, we aspire.

The silence in sound
Shrouds an ancient ground
Untouched and sublime
Unmoved, in our time
Ever reaching
To touch
The profound.

I navigate my wonder
I surf the timeless sea
I wander in infinity
In a hope to be, set free.

I memorize the future
To forget what my past did see
I whisper to my master
For a wish that cannot be.

A phantom look
A saintly feel
A delicate balance
Is what defines
Surreal.

An eruption reacts
And is encompassed by flame
A split second attack
Is what delivers its
Fame.

The process of measuring
Ensures debate
About the essence of light
And the meaning of fate.

the nova
moves slowly
sliding soft
on dark air
showing novel
uniqueness
a testament
to what’s rare.

The break of day
In ruthless decay
Erodes the ever present
Away.
