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

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.

Lightweight ejections
Bounce down, and about
Embracing their rejection
Of a dark matter, route.

Flow rate detections
Of a near, away doubt
Demands a correction
From a darkness, blackout.

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.

Reaching back in time
Seeking an equation
Searching secret signals
In sector dark –
Annihilation.

Far across a background
Playing seek and hide
A world peeks for a moment
Then sneaks backwards –
To its stride.
