Inversions as background
Invite us to see
Wisps of pure beauty
Bursting,
To be free.

Painting
An outer edge,
From the distant
Dark
To a newborn,
Light.

Reveals
An inner truth,
By extracting
Color
From atrophic,
Bright.

From higher to gone
From opaqueness to dawn
The simplicity
In truth
Is never wrong.

Restrict on the quick
Retract on the slow
Consider un-direction
In the arc
Of our relative
Flow.

A moment of time
As a glimmer of grand
Is intrinsically,
Entwined
As its beauty,
Commands.

Screaming for a witness
Begging fate to stay
The t-Star beams its anger
In a soft harmonic,
Fade away.

In the delicate swirls
Of dust,
We divine

A structured translucent
Intelligence,
Designed

To uncover a darkness
Of energy,
Entwined

Within an authorship
That delivers,
A masterpiece – unsigned.
