A horizon of brightness
Within an angular slight
Reveals a crossed, northern structure
Of a dream –
To ignite.

A majestic degree
Across an ocean
Of sight

Reflects and refines
Our basic notion
Of night.

Through our inputs of change
Creates an entropy of awareness
Refined,
By time’s range.

A single deep atom
In perfect vacuum phase
Ignites a photon of energy
Into an image
Of its singular
Rage.

Icy white fractures
Of pure moments, complete
Reveals a world captured
When we deny, to retreat.

A subtle stark stature
Of a triumph, replete
With a vision manufactured
By our defiance, of defeat.

A subtle breath
Of timid lines
Begins to answer
Our questioned minds.

Bend your understanding
To relate to, a complex truth
Reveal your raft complicity
Unchained from –
A broken youth.

The rapture of anguish
By the death
Of its trace

Destroys its own future
Through un-moments
Of grace.

I feel an age old wisdom
Focused from the sky
Watching silent history
Pass through –
It’s ancient eye.

Shrugging off its layers
Spinning from your view
Shaking every moment
Is the mind –
Of haunted you.
