Streaks, of pure color
Reaching out,
From the night

Invites, our wild dreams
To be bold,
And take flight

To reach, the last mystery
In the cold,
Of dark light

We find, the first spark
In the heart,
Of God’s sight.

Gravity’s strength
Expands and decays
By sharpening its will
To define its true waves.

Masking black with color
We see our visions new
We seek the hidden wonder
To find what must be true.

An anomalous feature
Deliberately designed
Defines the dark creature
Inside –
Of time’s mind.

An x-ray bandit
Attempts to relate
By revealing its mission
When learning its fate.

An x-type vision
Appears to escape
By denying its meaning
When concealing its state.

A two pane, mosaic
An explosion, of bright
A shade, of definition
That exposes, heavens light.

Shading through a spectrum
Rippling down a face
Showing wavelength bedforms
That mark –
Without a trace.

Central point sources
Consistently change
Denying their value
While strengthening their strange.

Super masses smashing in a
Magic garden of dreams
Reveals a rational thrashing
Of a thought,
Without its means.
