of incredible length
discovers its limits
by the weakest link
in its strength.

encircling bands
of hourglass sands
engage their own way
turning orange into grey
by never speaking
and never giving
demands.

super-rotating bands
of ghost Titan hands
are commands from far away
an old interstellar display
of the weakness
of an omnipresent
reprimand.

the strangest image
I've ever not seen
shakes beauty awake
and new thoughts in my dream.

the strangest wisdom
that I'd never mean
is learned by mistake
from what's unsightly seen.

the strangest moment
thats forever not been
is a moment untold
a nonelightened daydream.

An exhale of wonder
Is how gravity finesses
Its structured thunder.

and be more of a

Be the soul
of total control.

Resume your role
as a rock

with a raucous
roll.

I would like to see
A flying saucer
Sometime before
I die.

I'd like to uncover
The truth within
And the alien answer
To why.

The inflationary era
Of the early universe
In a small, hot, quantum state
Is incredibly perverse.

The so-called vacuum energy
Of a quantum field traverse
Will quickly change into a seething soup
In an elementary particle reverse.

A wondrous image of
Heavenly phase.

A calming sense
A turbulent maze
A timeless image of
Atmospheric rage.

Sons of a strange God
and the daughters of men
choose not what they see
and never not what is when.

Giants unto the earth
from the beginning, then
are the Sons that emerge
from the strange daughters of men.

Of steller renditions
Are insufficient to announce
What mysteries are aroused
By the lack, in fact, of a crater vision.

Of a creature
Enveloped by light
Undiscovered by sight
A hidden gift
From an unknown

Of a comets knowing whys
Produces catastrophic outcomes
With cataclysmic ties.

trembles in terror
from the power of

disguises its horror
and ignores its

From a measured starscape try

A curiosity, not denied.

Fractured light lessons
From the depths of the deep sky
A significant exo-progression
In the eternal search, for why.

A ringlet
bears it's faint streamers
and asks why,
do I hide?

It asks a question
to its orbit
of why, in fact,
am I alive?

And contemplates
questions and details of
why, indeed,
do I survive?
