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.

Rejected emissions
Insure, in the end
That the beginning
Of now-frames
Will return –
To transcend.

Are we driven
To be a god
The play the tempter
To bend the odd?

Are we captured
Are we trod
Are we real
Or a forced facade?

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.

Falling in –
Spinning
Spiraling in trails of wonder

Felled, into my inner deep blackness
Measured in years of light
And in streams of conscious awakening

I’m pulled through time
An inescapable reality
Into a now –
Of ever present
Meaning.

Into the darkness
Into the blind
Into the nothing
That shows you –
Its mind.

Measured, gross emissions
Combined,
By brute force

Detracts, from a vision
Of a designed,
Streamed source.

I pierce – through my center
And pry – in unknowns
As I seek – my unsomethings
And think – all alone.

Reflections-
Bright and lonely
Yearning for instinct
Brave, volatile
Receiving inputs
In an output led existence
Screaming, for an identity
Within a consciousness
Of attempted being.
