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

Beneath exposed surface
And inside
A bright theme

We find a true path
To an organized,
Dream.

A connection –
A moment that awakes
The sense of self

Of a reflection
That makes
A certainty
An awareness of now

In the present
Of a here,
For the taking.

Bow waves that shock
Roll, and then rock
Metaphorically reach
For the key –
To times lock.

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.

Beautifully askew
an ancient wonder,
breaks through
delivering, unto you
a new perspective
of true.

Isolating structures
Through decomposing scales
Removes supported clusters
Revealing –
The oldest of our tales.

Peering from the shadows
Cloaked in shades of bright
A world reflects its essence
Through its phasing –
Rays of white.

A begin,
From and end
Will often portend
How a life,
Can evolve
To transcend.
