Seven sisters, in the sky
Shining bright, for all to spy
A cluster of, stars so fair
Guiding visions, everywhere.
In ancient times, they were a guide
For sailor, soldier, and and those who bide
Their light in winter, shining clear
A beacon of hope, drawing near.
So let us look, up to the sky
And see the Seven, Sisters rise
A reminder of, the beauty there
The infinite expanse, place we share.

Crossing our constants
And the transforming
Of sky
Whispers its wisdom –
As a solution
To why.

Under the glow
Of violet night
The nightmare flow
Of a violent smite
The burning of
A distant fray
Where ancient night
Is now born, today.

Falling in –
Spinning
Spiraling in trails of wonder
Felled, into my inner deep blackness
Measured in years of light
And in streams of conscious awakening
I’m pulled through time
An inescapable reality
Into a now –
Of ever present
Meaning.

A degradation signal
In a timescale shaking wave
Breaks its solar dominion
To cheat –
Its telemetry grave.

A thread of heavens woven cloth
Enraptured with its might
A misty red and soggy froth
Captures – it’s true fight.
Spread and splashed with flowing haste
Throughout its mystic night
It asks for nothing from its host
To brave – its present plight.

Into the blind
Into the nothing
That shows you –

Telescopic skyscapes
Flashing –
With rage
Define broken time shapes
Crashing –
Our stage.

Squaring, daring
A steely staring
Equally fairing,
Through their time locked –
Pairing.
