Angle right visions
Curve –
Through the night
Sending whispers of color
To conserve –
It’s arc light.

A delicate, dark existence
Determined, to breakthrough
Drapes, its deep appearance
Within a death throw –
Of true.

Pause, just a moment
For that junction, of true
Knowing, what you see
Is that moment, for you

Take, a shallow breath
And closely listen, to me
As my words, are the question
That tells me, what you see

Hark, my cold words
Within the symbols, I write
Where that sliver, of a mind
Becomes the shadow, of light

The concepts, that I see
And the visions, I show
Are still, not quite here
And neither real, nor unknown.

Because we could not stop to die
Death did not stop for me;
The stars hold true a measured cloak
Of pure passivity.

We slowly wake, and see a truth
That makes a stark reveal;
That time and prescience cannot hide
Our raw, mortality.

A complex, interaction
Explodes and upheaves
By embedding,
An abstraction
In an h-Alpha,
Re-weave.

For sulphur atoms
Of blue, then green
Announce their present
Nighttime stream
While skyscape mansions
Forever dream
Of a silence, shouted
By a sight, extreme.

Sequenced, continued spectrals
Evolves, a convective white hue

Degenerating its carbon
Core matter,

To reflect –
Its type magnitude
View.

A hammer on the skyscape

With quark explosions flashing
An endless surprise

As sheets of woven color
Pierce the black
Shattering the white

Becoming shards of destiny
Raining –
From a nowhere
Relentless now.

Somehow, color the night comes
and rises dark and calm

I can see, a sight – a floating white
in the amber, of a past respond

With flowing motion, back, behind
on an angle, its purpose bond

Oh, to see it, trailing away
towards the great, unfathomable, beyond.
