Forever dreams,
Of distant beams
Riding away,
Over slow decay

We know not,
The parting air

Of our despair
Of a silent sigh
And quiet –
Slow goodbye.

The darkness, of white
Tops sheathed, in black bright
Streak –
Through the shadows, to break free
And take flight.

Mythical mysteries
Of confounding,
Dark scales

Strikes through
Its long history
Through compounding, contrails.

Rivers –

Of swirling air
Envelope our visions
And enrapture our dreams

Evolving –

To be a witness
To moving layers
Of shadow streams.

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

Baseline allowances
Shaken,
From the edge
Awaken,
To a destiny
Of a re-imagined, ledge.

Crocking clay formations
Breaking down, awake
Makes –
The chemistry of reason
Into a postulated, lake.

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