Expanse
In a trance
Within a relative glance,
Exists
In a vacuum,
Of chance.

A red light emission
Burns bright
And stays true
To a dense deep
Admission
That stays tight –
To fates view.

Cold
And alone
A captured shimmer, of home

In the depths
Of time
Within a frozen, sublime

Is a voice
So distant
Its gone, in an instant

And an silence
So loud
It thunders through, its cold shroud.

The density of heat
Within a radiated shell
Determines the status
Of present,
By reforming
The presence
Of hell.

Double star clusters
Reflect, the unseen
Hiding out, in shaved curves
Creating dark mass –
Routines.

Radiated colors
Falling backwards, in time
Seek their new positions
In crashing landscapes
Re-aligned.

Radiated visions
Rocking inwards, inclined
Greet their fate solutions
Through arcing shadows
Re-defined.

Yellow leach reflections
Rumbling through our dreams
Connect –
And trace a history
Of a past –
In present streams.

Blueish bleached refractions
Shining future themes
Reject –
Their place in history
Through a now –
Of pure extremes.

In the quiet
Explosion
Of the darkest time
Emerges a stranger
To itself
A vision of a filled
Emptiness
Cascading in ellipses
As a symphony of color
An arc thought
At most –
A reflection
Of potential
Of a frightened,
Innermost ghost.
