A silence deep in glowing caves
Is never quite alone
It wonders in its quiet waves
To race and run from home.

Its spirts shine within the deep
To find a common stare
It shields us from a truth so steep
For how we see unfair.

Our deepest threat, our deepest care,
Is unique at each owns grave
Our silent screams are muted there,
Where fate, outruns, its wave.

eyes
futher more
surfaced in reflecting gloss –

just beneath
just as real,
as though
a drop
fell full,
into a glass
turning
stretching
into a mix
of color –

lost in its intensity
it’s life and the pain
that draws our beauty out.

Wrinkle wedge sisters
Wrangle through time
Wrestling with whispers
Through its weathered –

Ejected hard materials
Explodes –
Its true remains

As random dust etherials
Demands –
It’s earned domain.

Seven sisters, in the sky
Shining bright, for all to spy
A cluster of, stars so fair
Guiding visions, everywhere.

In ancient times, they were a guide
For sailor, soldier, and and those who bide
Their light in winter, shining clear
A beacon of hope, drawing near.

So let us look, up to the sky
And see the Seven, Sisters rise
A reminder of, the beauty there
The infinite expanse, place we share.

A degradation signal
In a timescale shaking wave
Breaks its solar dominion
To cheat –
Its telemetry grave.

A thread of heavens woven cloth
Enraptured with its might
A misty red and soggy froth
Captures – it’s true fight.

Spread and splashed with flowing haste
Throughout its mystic night
It asks for nothing from its host
To brave – its present plight.

Breathing in –
Inhaling wonder
Swallowed rapture
Devouring the natal molecules
Of our whimsical –

Seething stars through bloodshot eyes
In silent scenes of death
Races, violently, burning
For a never want of rest

Gaming, future, systems
Like a treasure found for me
I realize that returning
Is a spot I cannot see

I mention, saying, never, known
In a heart that doesn’t exist
As destiny leans on through
And puts its end to this.
