Rising,
Into gospel
Is the sound
Of now, released

To the theme
Of azure dragons
Screaming,
For their guardian, priests.

Rising through the ether
Ripping through your mind
Reaching for existence
Is the thought –
That’s undefined.

A sheared funnel cloud
Breaks, its stark shroud
Into focus
For what nature,
Has allowed.

Sweeping through
A stunning view
Is the colored mosaic,
Of you.

Trailing a streamers
Diffracted host
Shapes its signature,
Optical ghost.

Painting the inside
From the back of the past
Frames itself outside
Its reflective –
Contrast.

A blue piercing portrait
Canvas of time
Sheds its dark secret
Through its strands –
Of pure shine.

We race to the start
To come back from an end
By spinning our instants
We then –
Comprehend.

A denied understanding
Relies on betrayal
As a lie that’s demanding
Implies –
How we fail.
