The eye of the master
That hides in the night
Is powered by thoughts
That follow its sight.

The knowns that comes faster
Through a strengthening might
Is sought by the challenge
Of the dark, to be light.

The negative, of night
An inverse, effect
A quantum, correlation
Of a shadow-like, silhouette.

The tail of the snake
Shakes
In the cold dust of history
It makes
A signature shine
Stirring, awake
Signaling a fractured
Moment –
That breaks.

A gravitied distance
A magnified flight
A captured re-memory
In the darkness –
Of light.

Waves of debris
Coded by change
Rolls into ripples
Along –
It’s true range.

An inverted chaos
Trembles
As it breaks
And shakes,
Foundations

Of unknown meanings
By way of distortion
Sensing weakness
An unsure uniqueness,
Of timing

And a moving line of attack
Indefensible
By way of shadow
An inverted outflow,
Of silence

And darkness
Surrounded by cold
Within the emptiness
And complete elusiveness,
Of everything.

Faint start streams
From an intellect, of means
Paints a vision,
Of beauty
Through a schism,
Of duty
About an answer
To the meaning
In our dreams.

Through the eye
Of our history
We struggle to free,
The presence of meaning
From the answers,
We see.

A dynamical history
A reduction, of form
A continued collusion
Through abduction, by storm.

On course distortions
Of direct,
Dispersed source
Distracts from the motions
Of indirect,
Produced force.
