Light, minute, magic
Mysteriously,
Makes
The flouresense, of its starlight
Into a night,
That breaks
Awake.

A streaking, path essential
Boldly shrieking, through my soul

Finds a sign of spirit
Boldly seeking –
Its sense of role.

A darkness
Of vision
A conscience
Of mind

A soul twisting
Wisdom
From a light,
Intertwined.

Sailing, through time
Sculps its reminder
Of a fate –
In the sublime.

Blended views
Of extremist hues
Ascend –
Into a universe, that’s colored
True.

Through a downwind, silt
Protects its morphology
By its axial, tilt.

Blasting on outward
We look, from within
To find our reflection
From the point, we begin.

Shadows, discernible
Storms of, deceit
An atmospheric, anomaly
Remarkably, complete.

It moves through its detail
It radiates its Be
It smashes all conventions
To allow itself –
To see.

Ripples,
Of color
Set sea, by a spark

Discovering,
Their nature
Now free, from the dark.
