combines to create
Life.

Mountains
Of angry
Seeped deep
In un sane
Imagine
Their endings
By denying
Their shame.

Mountains
Of issues
Scorched deep
In true pain
Are the lessons
That Angel's
Try to hide
With white stain.

a granular motion
where time stands still
is a question unanswered
that likely never will.

A signature signal
From a stellar cloud
Is a seasoned
Search for
A frozen water
Shroud.

Presumably aware
Attendant shepherds, are sworn
To reveal a soulless space vacuum
That's undeniably
Unborn.

Origins of meaning
And of stellar redeeming
Wait for answers from away
For a moment, not delayed
It's a question
Of interstarscape
Dreaming.

And a silent shine
Renders a darkened window
Into
The Tethys mind.

A violent release
From a virtual drain
Is a vision of horror
From a volcanic, un-remain.

Where nowhere is here
And here is nowhere
A share of remembrance
Is where here was there.

A fissure of trust
A spectacular reaction
To the crashing of dust.

In the shade of the sublime
Creates an angle of deep resonance
With the erosion, of pure time.

goodbye
old friend
is this really the end?

why don't
you stay
and never go away,

for never

to come again.

Of worlds not seen
And forever tumble
In a world
Of dreams.

A forgotten sound
Softly searching for
A place of ground.

Silent statements
Of a secret found
Softly touches
Your upside down.

of silent woes
and ancient secrets
and ancient answers
no one knows.

is an attempted
denial
of nature's
instinctual intent
to harm.

a hallows brush
detects a touch
of gravity's weight
immense in fate
seeming carefully
out of focus
forced
to crush.

a hallows rush
denied by touch
is a kinetic of hate
strengthened by weight
searching carefully
for a focus
unprepared
to trust.

A giant step
And a relished find
Reflects the casual touch
Of reflected time.

A grafted print
With a crafted shine
Is the refracted touch
Of the present mind.

from the here
to the far
search for hidden
answers
in each bit
of each star.
