mysteries
about a saturonian
affair
lend a legend
to each moment
of a terrafirma bound
despair.

And in time they know
What is means to be old
And out of life’s fold
Out of breath
With nothing left
To show.

combines to create
Life.

Mountains
Of angry
Seeped deep
In un sane
Imagine
Their endings
By denying
Their shame.

That Angel’s
Try to hide
With white stain.

From a stellar cloud
Is a seasoned
Search for
A frozen water
Shroud.

Attendant shepherds, are sworn
To reveal a soulless space vacuum
That’s undeniably
Unborn.

Origins of meaning
And of stellar redeeming
Wait for answers from away
For a moment, not delayed
It’s a question
Of interstarscape
Dreaming.

A focused find
And a silent shine
Renders a darkened window
Into
The Tethys mind.

A violent release
From a virtual drain
Is a vision of horror
From a volcanic, un-remain.
