Expected reactions
In unexpected ways
Detects new distractions
From a symbiotic –
Decay.

A deep gauged emotion
An unguarded state
Its presence, a vision
Within the echo –
Of create.

Lurking in the darkness
Hiding from the light
Drifts a knowledge constant
That shades its wrong –
From right.

Framing bright emissions
Across our hidden skies
Reveals a secret truth
Of a God –
With complex ties.

invisible wavelengths
race through,
the air
exploring a distant
timelessness,
tear.

A shaped –
Snowcapped signature
Within a window, of time

Breaks an edge –
Snowswept perimeter
That defines, its decline.

An obscure, point of nature
An increase, of doubt
A knowledge, discarded
From an inside –
Without.

A reference, of danger
An infaceing, shout
Then silence, that questions
What your sanity’s –
About.

A shadow cast
Of a foreshadowed event
Looses information
Through its contrary, ascent.

Intent –
On laying waste
To an altered, dissent.

Flashed
Through a crinkle
A sudden moment
Of sublime.

Thrashed
From our vision
Into a thought
Paradigm.

Crashed
Into exit
Onto altered
Shadow time.

The loose in a cluster
The spray of its dust
The stream in its filament
Gives way –
To lights lust.
