A broken,
Backlit motion
Finds,
A black ocean
Inside,
Raw emotion
And beside,
True devotion.

Increases inclination

Rising through the ether
Ripping through your mind
Reaching for existence
Is the thought –
That’s undefined.

A sheared funnel cloud
Breaks, its stark shroud
Into focus
For what nature,
Has allowed.

Sweeping through
A stunning view
Is the colored mosaic,
Of you.

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.
