Blushing,
Skyscape,
Brushstrokes,
Painted, through ages past

Images, a wide field mosaic
Reflecting its vertex,
Triangle,
Of vast.

Invisibly intense
Is a Halo’s suspense
Overpowering –
Its symmetrical,
Defense.

A hammer on the skyscape

With quark explosions flashing
An endless surprise

As sheets of woven color
Pierce the black
Shattering the white

Becoming shards of destiny
Raining –
From a nowhere
Relentless now.

Windblown visions
Of a spiking, blue fade
Re-images, its planum
Through a striking –
Of shade.

An illuminated cave
From an infrared, array
Appears, to shape
A signature
Through a shocking bow –
Spray.

Somehow, color the night comes
and rises dark and calm

I can see, a sight – a floating white
in the amber, of a past respond

With flowing motion, back, behind
on an angle, its purpose bond

Oh, to see it, trailing away
towards the great, unfathomable, beyond.

Spacial line, directions
Within the arcs –
Of angled dust
Discerns itself, by deception
In cover clouds –
Of swathed rust.

Breaking back the darkness
The now,
Becomes the then
As it breaks beyond its spark
The hidden how,
Repeats again.

Oceanus Procellarum >>

Unexpectedly, symmetrical
And unusually, complete
An outflow,
Beams syntactical
As its symbiots –
Accrete.

Sculpted and strong –
The common soul,
Is implied

Resolving its awareness –
Through a thought,
Of what’s why.
