First Light Machine

Lurking in the darkness
Hiding from the light
Drifts a knowledge constant
That shades its wrong –
From right.

Observational efforts
Surrounding, our inside
Seeks a silent truth
Strangly hidden –
But not denied.

Compacting masses
In an unassociated drift
Returns
As it passes
To its x axis
Shift.

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 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.

A complexity in waves
A compilation of signs
An aesthetic reaction
To our moments –
In time.

The backlight, of memory
Within a crescent –
Silhouette

Reveals the simple, in transcendence
And makes the complex –
Perfect.

The breaks of a halo
The slight, in its feint
Reveals the power, of structure
And the signal –
In restraint.

Faint start streams
From an intellect, of means
Paints a vision,
Of beauty
Through a schism,
Of duty
About an answer
To the meaning
In our dreams.

I’m in
Then out
Then up and about

I spin
I shake
I’m always awake

I’m clear
With fear
But cannot yet hear

The sound
That’s around

My heart
My soul
My reason
My role

For when
I am finally
Found.
