First Light Machine

Within my memory
Flashed from birth,
I feel the complexity
Of the vastness –

Both inner and outer,
Intricate and simple,
Chaos coupled to clarity
In a memorized meaning – of the now.

M42 >>

 

Backdrops of color
Alive, and alone
Are the wonders
In nature
Of a thriving,
Unknown.

ARP 188 >>

 

Measured, gross emissions
Combined,
By brute force

Detracts, from a vision
Of a designed,
Streamed source.

SOFIA >>

 

Static, deposits
In thin, layered frames
Fold, into colored
Re-structured,
Dark flames.

Candor Chasma >>

 

Iron red filaments
Flow, amongst fire
Shining their exceptional
Glow –
Of desire.

NGC 6302 >>

 

Measuring, the moments
By marking, its mean
Maps, the components
Of an intangible –
Scene.

Wide Field Camera 3 >>

 

Wing like windows
Carved from
Wolf-Rayet scars –

Blows its
Norse, wind, vision
Into its
Blue, hued, stars.

NGC 2359 >>

 

The vastness of time
Defines halls,
That connect

Restructuring minds
Reflects calls,
To affect.

Lagoon >>

 

Evil.
Within us –
Surrounding our creativity
Breaking our genius
Darkening our souls
It’s only power
Given –
By our free will.

Evaporate >>

 

Distorted, visions
Of your mind,
Through glass

Contorts, its collision
Into a thoughts –
Impasse.

Arp 142 >>
