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.

A pinprick
Of wisdom
A faint, unrefined

An emotional, reaction
To a strange something
Undefined.

The foreground, in life
Detects a background,
Of death

As defective, design
Destroys its intake,
Of breath.
