A hammer on the skyscape

With quark explosions flashing
An endless surprise

As sheets of woven color
Pierce the black
Shattering the white

Becoming shards of destiny
Raining –
From a nowhere
Relentless now.

Foreground fissures
In free forming fields
Furiously frame –
Through their fractional, shields.

Unexpectedly, symmetrical
And unusually, complete
An outflow,
Beams syntactical
As its symbiots –
Accrete.

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

Mythical mysteries
Of confounding,
Dark scales

Strikes through
Its long history
Through compounding, contrails.

Lying below –
An evaporated knowledge
Embeds itself

Hiding –
Within the layers
Of its dioxide, shelf.

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

Beyond –
Our belief
In the recess,
Of time

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

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