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.

Light, minuets of magic
Through the heart
Of our thoughts
In time

Whispers, its spiraling skyscapes
Through the soul
Of our minds
Paradigm.

A subsequent loss
The demand, for control
A realized awareness
Of our place –
And our role.

an extended
envelope of light
reveals,

the source,
the symbiotic balance
of a captured, ordeal.

Galactic planes
Within colorful frames
Reflects,
The broken energy,
Of Rho’s flame.
