Radiated colors
Falling backwards, in time
Seek their new positions
In crashing landscapes
Re-aligned.

Radiated visions
Rocking inwards, inclined
Greet their fate solutions
Through arcing shadows
Re-defined.

Downstream windows
Deflect
And detract
A carved impact
Relieved
By a tract
Ripped
Within a visioned
Abstract.

Yellow leach reflections
Rumbling through our dreams
Connect –
And trace a history
Of a past –
In present streams.

Blueish bleached refractions
Shining future themes
Reject –
Their place in history
Through a now –
Of pure extremes.

A window in a vacuum
A silence born from sound
Where a whisp –
Of information
Breaks through,
Its dark foreground.

In the quiet
Explosion
Of the darkest time
Emerges a stranger
To itself
A vision of a filled
Emptiness
Cascading in ellipses
As a symphony of color
An arc thought
At most –
A reflection
Of potential
Of a frightened,
Innermost ghost.
