Energetic remains
From a comet’s, white rain
Reveals a nature
Within our unknown
Domains.

Expansive compositions
And exciting forays
Exact their transitions
Into a nightscape –
Of decay.

Rapid acquisition of
Carbon rich, grains
Breaks –
Unmistakable
Recaptured light, chains.

Sinking –
A melt like falling,
As reality fades
Within its cryptic shades

Is your moment
That unexpectedly
Isn’t afraid.

Beyond –
Our belief
In the recess,
Of time

Is a whispered –
Relief
In a shared meaning,
Of mind.

A pinprick
Of wisdom
A faint, unrefined

An emotional, reaction
To a strange something
Undefined.

The West side
Of history
Looks back, to the East
Accumulating, discovery
It seeks –
Its release.
