In the quiet
Explosion
Of the darkest time
Emerges a stranger
To itself
A vision of a filled
Emptiness
Cascading in ellipses
As a symphony of color
An arc thought
At most –
A reflection
Of potential
Of a frightened,
Innermost ghost.

Angles of nature
Mark
The past of tomorrow
Within progenitor whispers
Thier secrets of movement
Their tell –
Banished
And then somehow expelled.

Icy cracked dynamics
Within a wrinkled
Wrecked terrain

Locks on human wonder
Through new horizons
Of insane.

Magnetar models
Detect and define
A flash –
Of raw power
Refined,
By pure time.

Lost
At home
In the sea of darkness
The God delivers
Its message
Of age
Of singularity
Of fear
Then,
The limitless order
Of hope.

Find your vision
Fractured state
From memory
Within the balance
Of what’s forgotten
Then remembered.

Unfiltered emotions
Float –
On black oceans
Of a negative pain
A post positive,
Frame
Inside the vacuum
Of shocked
Filamentary
Flame.

A crackle
A shift
A capture
A rift
An affirmation of existence
In a second, of drift.

A scream
Of cold silence
Projects the angry message
Of presence
Within a marker of the maker
From the future
Of history
To the creation
Of now.

A lethal ascension
Of an age old desire
Leaves the water and land
For the air and its fire.
