Ridges, of emission
Within a remnant, of fate
Becomes faint,
And elusive,
As a timeless free, gate.

Wing like winds
Wonder, and glide
Whispering, wishes
Through its wonderland –
Stride.

Intriguing, silhouettes
Of shadow, pirouettes
Reposes,
Cold themes
By exposing,
Feared dreams
Through the darkness
Of its silent
Extremes.

The frame of ghostly light within
Glowing, dark and cold
Sights its lonely, now begin,
Re-balanced, through its fold:

Our found, unnerved, deserted space
From sunken graves reborn
Sounds it’s brazen, silent chase
Through resplendent, scowls of scorn:

Of onward, slight, in downward cross
Unleashed, to fling its fight
Dons it’s shadow, echo loss
To a once, remembered light.

Vapors of dioxide
Released through splice
Reveal –
Their residual
In resplendent, dark ice.

Flashes of color
Unplan –
To create

Rebranding their construct
To withstand –
Their new state.

A brightening edge folds itself –

From the nothing
Into something
From the darkness
Into light
From the shadow
Into showing

The ancient spark,
Of burning night.

Embedded arcs
Within –
Glowing loops

Reveals the fabric
Of its outflow,

Loops of plasma
Splashing anger
Stretching chaos
Signaling change
Spewing hatred
Suffering violence
Silencing screams
Singing of rage

Shoves,
The darkness
From its spacetime,
Cage.
