Unwanted disturbances
From shadow terrains
Marks non-something knowns
From ice particle regains.

Unwanted detections
By ring-flected remains
Marks non-nothing knowns
From ice symphony refrains.

from inside your mind
and visualize the image
of a fate arbitrarily
assigned.

Tracks of change
Invariably come
Without the knowledge
Of what they’ve rung.

Tracks of knowledge
Inevitably come
With complete understanding
Of theories wrongly re-run.

A smashing ice bellow
On a mission of no harm
Has a ignorant reaction to
A golden ratio alarm.

A smashing ice whimper
The polar opposite of warm
Is a signal for direction
By a desperate waving arm.

Neptune-mass planets
Found orbiting like stars
Are testaments in balance
By threshold raising bars.

Ingredients of hope
Amidst the passage of time
Is relative in scope
Like a shadow’s danger sign.

Dueling bands
Understand
That light will whisper
Silent commands.

Revelations of nature
Are never not wanted
They’re sometimes just driven
To being unhaunted.

Boosting a signal
In the anticipation of
Light
Marks a change that announces
A new sky
In your night.

Boosting our knowledge
From where there’s no
Sight
Is a found knowledge blade
And a time piercing
Knife.

an island
the size
of a Kodiak
dream,

is an island
of hope
in a Titan river
of spring.
