A brightening edge folds itself –

From the nothing
Into something
From the darkness
Into light
From the shadow
Into showing

The ancient spark,
Of burning night.

Defined by light
A sense, refined
A spectacular vision
Through a form –
Of mind.

Embedded arcs
Within –
Glowing loops

Reveals the fabric
Of its outflow,
Groups

The competition of distance
And its prediction
Of waves,

Detects a radial velocity
That consistently,
Misbehaves.

Galactic planes
Within colorful frames
Reflects,
The broken energy,
Of Rho’s flame.

Cloud white shrouds
Inversed
From their dust
Retun
To their center
Reversed
From their thrust.

Expansive compositions
And exciting forays
Exact their transitions
Into a nightscape –
Of decay.

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