into a sun
an old ending now done
like a loner
with the calmness

Weeping whispers
Strangely mean
Saintly secrets
That never will be seen.

Weeping wicked
Suffering dreams
Sickly stars
To old to have been.

Dim object separation
With detection techniques
Makes us wiser by virtue
Of our engineering feats.

Super sonic
Radiant steam
Crossing quickly
As a gradient mean.

Super something
Gravitationally seen
Crouching crippled
In a timeless dream.

A splashing of color
From heavens dark prison
Elicits a grievance
From a Devil’s blind vision.

Hide
Within sight
Help
A silent plight
Hear
What’s never right
Hark
This storm of night.

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

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.
