Outflows
Of shock waves
Through a molecular breeze

Reflows its reflections
To infinite
Degrees.

A window into knowledge
A language born from truth
A signal in a dream that captures
Bright blue youth.

The molecular bind
Inside of a mind
Reveals the strength
In the spark
Of sublime.

a late-time acceleration
through a predictably
curved straight

finds a natural unreason
to deny its own
stellar fate

a framework of deceleration
that refuses
to equate

finds a Darkness of season
within a re-charged
negative state.

Successive generations
Of explosive vibrations
Reveal a dark shell
And conceal a veiled hell
That releases
The complexity
Of creation.

Sensing a sacred
Withdrawn, dusted light

Reflects a re-fractured
Dawn, of inner sight.

A rising ridge
A sandstone plain
A stereo view
Of the Endeavour domain.

Ethereal streams
From a collision of dreams
Hungrily awaits
And impatiently baits
Our delirium
Into a soul crushing
Machine.
