A sense of wonder
A signal of might
A radial vision
A mission –
Of light.

Inflows of outflow
Features, its change
By changing, alignment
To strengthen –
Its range.

Reversing, emergent
Breathing through
It’s conceal
An atmospheric, euphoria
Within a present –
Surreal.

Sculpted and shackled
Writhing, shadows entwined
Each breath a battle
Against its binds

Desperate limbs
Dance in darkness
Searching for freedom
From the bonds they keep

Till finally breaking
Through tangles unfurled
A spirit emerges
New born, in the world.

At dusk –
Embracing the old
Ravished, through millennia of cold

Is the debt of dreams
From future, past extremes
Slowing down
To a variation
Of theme.

Trapezium clusters
In parallel ways
Deliver its message
Through –
Molecular phase.

Silhouette swivels
And dark cosmic clouds
Release ultraviolet whispers
A warning –
To its shroud.

Calm. Serene
The lion lay –
Waiting. Inside
Its solarized ray.

Tepid. Angry
With indifference razed –
Fierce. And challenged
And never fazed.

Cooley. Cautious
And deftly feared –
Almost silent
When its power reared.

Prepared. And ready
To encounter rage –
Enveloping everything
On its worldly stage.

Creatures of fancy
Preachers of slight
Creep into consciousness
Deep –
Into night.

The depth of an eye
The breadth of the storm
Carve dark and deep rivers –
Into a soul searching,
Swarm.
