Signatures of life
Are often overlooked
Turning nothing into something
Is a sign you’ve just mistook.

Signatures of aging
A cosmic deadline that’s re-booked
Are the agents of constant change
Disguised as life, by stellar crooks.

Slashing swiftly
Into view
Slipping slowly
From false to true.

Swinging silent
Out of view
A stellar shyness
Without a clue.

Travel within
The confines
Of doubt
Explore facts as feelings
From the inside
Out.

Pilots
We are
Racing fast and far
To the drumbeat of time
We’re intended to find
The power
To reach
Another star.

Fixing the future >>>

When particles attract
Gravity exists
When particles repel
Gravity disappears
When gravity is neutralized
Time and space
Co-exist.

What is the purpose
Of linear time
When beauty is removed
From it’s original rhyme.

The chaos of a constant
balance maintained
is the negative of equal
to the clearly
insane.

Elements of
A foreign land
A passage of time
Within the movements
Of sand.

Intelligence reins
By stark command
A meaningful warning
Without
Times demand.

A dragon’s foul breath
Tumbling straight down your back
A ghostly reminder
Of how quickly fate
Can attack.

A dragon’s foul stench
Trying hard to adapt
To a shifty proclamation
That turns your lies
Into fact.

do you see
a blurred straight line
do you wonder
what’s there to find?

do you wish
what is designed
is something astounding
that knows its mind?
