The inverse hues of life
detail the shadows
the gentle moving arcs
of spacious fabric
repeatedly retorn.

The exhale breath in life
in cosmic shadows
of gentle moving arcs
brilliantly colored
are repeatedly reborn.

blue speck glitter
undetermined
unrefined and unkempt
insolent by design
unchallenged in time

discovers its red dot existence
unrehearsed
unknown and misunderstood
a certain sublime
of a logically negative sign.

within the crack
of the dragon’s fire
we reach the moment
of our desperate desire
and touch the edge
of what to, we aspire.

The silence in sound
Shrouds an ancient ground
Untouched and sublime
Unmoved, in our time
Ever reaching
To touch
The profound.

I navigate my wonder
I surf the timeless sea
I wander in infinity
In a hope to be, set free.

I memorize the future
To forget what my past did see
I whisper to my master
For a wish that cannot be.

A phantom look
A saintly feel
A delicate balance
Is what defines
Surreal.

An eruption reacts
And is encompassed by flame
A split second attack
Is what delivers its
Fame.

The process of measuring
Ensures debate
About the essence of light
And the meaning of fate.

moves slowly
sliding soft
on dark air
showing novel
uniqueness
a testament
to what’s rare.
