An isochrone, shrine
In a canyon, sublime
Shapes the texture
Of distance –
Into a parallax,
Design.

Vanishing visions
Decide my role
Through varying vapors
Aside –
My soul.

Flowing river down
Down, a dark ground
Is the signal,
Of an essence,
Un-found.

Burning –
Unrefined
Through a present,
Unaligned

Reveals the whisper-
Of dark shadows,
Intertwined.

Lost, through time
Seeking, to find
Its reason,
Its anaglyph –
Of mind.

The anger, that’s within
Detects the hatred,
That’s out –

Where solution, eclipses evil
And goodness,
Reforms doubt.

Ridges, of emission
Within a remnant, of fate
Becomes faint,
And elusive,
As a timeless free, gate.

Dreams, which are not
Of a brightness, extinguished
Wondering in eternal space
Without a path, or hope, or plan
Blacked, by the sheath of stealth
Coming on the edge of morning, surrendered.

Reflections, out of history
Are disturbed –
From belief

Releasing, into present
A measured Cepheid –
Relief.
