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

The polar opposite of warm
Is a signal for direction
By a desperate waving arm.

Found orbiting like stars
Are testaments in balance
By threshold raising bars.

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

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.

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

In incendiary phase
Makes erosion the prime virtue
In its reconnaissance stage.

discovers its limits
by the weakest link
in its strength.
