On course distortions
Of direct,
Dispersed source
Distracts from the motions
Of indirect,
Produced force.

Expanse
In a trance
Within a relative glance,
Exists
In a vacuum,
Of chance.

A luminous brilliance
A cathedral of shine
A signature of substance
Where reality –
Is defined.

Ongoing loops
In the core,
Of our being

Assure, not a sense
But a view,
To our seeing.

Radiated colors
Falling backwards, in time
Seek their new positions
In crashing landscapes
Re-aligned.

Radiated visions
Rocking inwards, inclined
Greet their fate solutions
Through arcing shadows
Re-defined.

Downstream windows
Deflect
And detract
A carved impact
Relieved
By a tract
Ripped
Within a visioned
Abstract.

Yellow leach reflections
Rumbling through our dreams
Connect –
And trace a history
Of a past –
In present streams.

Blueish bleached refractions
Shining future themes
Reject –
Their place in history
Through a now –
Of pure extremes.

Angles of nature
Mark
The past of tomorrow
Within progenitor whispers
Thier secrets of movement
Their tell –
Banished
And then somehow expelled.

One’s gravitational fence
Is often condensed
By a measure
Of our spiritual
Sense.
