Layers
Of history,
Deeply extend

The sense
Of adventure,
On the road
To the end.

A streaking, path essential
Boldly shrieking, through my soul

Finds a sign of spirit
Boldly seeking –
Its sense of role.

A darkness
Of vision
A conscience
Of mind

A soul twisting
Wisdom
From a light,
Intertwined.

Blended views
Of extremist hues
Ascend –
Into a universe, that’s colored
True.

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

It moves through its detail
It radiates its Be
It smashes all conventions
To allow itself –
To see.

Ripples,
Of color
Set sea, by a spark

Discovering,
Their nature
Now free, from the dark.

Waking, evolution
Breaking, through our minds
Shaking, every given
To a point, that never finds.

Days in the night
Form a negative, light
Revealing
The entrance,
To our center,
Of sight.

Circular, curvature
In radially, scale
Bends –
A light constant
Into geometric,
Brail.
