Because we could not stop to die
Death did not stop for me;
The stars hold true a measured cloak
Of pure passivity.

We slowly wake, and see a truth
That makes a stark reveal;
That time and prescience cannot hide
Our raw, mortality.

Excited, false vistas
Imagining, their state
Reflect, a pareidolia
When deciding,
To create.

Masking via motion
Moving offset night
Magnificent – interactions
From a spiritual,
Sunset light.

A complex, interaction
Explodes and upheaves
By embedding,
An abstraction
In an h-Alpha,
Re-weave.

For sulphur atoms
Of blue, then green
Announce their present
Nighttime stream
While skyscape mansions
Forever dream
Of a silence, shouted
By a sight, extreme.

Preserved, by a vision
Reserved, through its cloak
Is a focused – viral mission
To conserve,
Ionized smoke.

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.
