Fireball
Computer-generated Supernova As a spark bites into a wick Consuming the white tendril And leaving behind charred vestiges Memories awaken within the flame Igniting the present with brilliance Shining upon shadowed faces The flickering nucleus Of a gleaming atom Kindling a vigorous echo A kinetic burst Within a crystal wall Cracks the sphere An audible report Resounding within A shower of embers Scattered trajectories From a blazing fireball Drip onto glowing coals...

The Thunderstone of Ensisheim Woodcut of Ensisheim Meteorite that fell into a wheatfiled in Alsace (now France) the morning of 11-7-1492 Midnight ink burning light Grazing celestial kisses Languid eye of stardust Impassioned pleas And astral yearnings Emboldened ebony veil Glowing embers Within crystal spheres Swimming sea of Night Colliding galaxies Novatic emanation Fervent spirits streaming Flaming hair Metallic tooth Bites the shadowed throat Scorching fireball Bursts a cloud Plows the gentle earth...

Intihuatana Stone – Machu Picchu, Peru Photo via imagesofanthropology.com A shadow melting In a granite bed The Sun a sacred passion And from a barren branch A brown leaf falls Now crushed beneath its foot Conveyed on a celestial carriage Our eventide murmurings No less than the coming dawn Sweet kisses dropping Like crimson petals Upon balanced scales Golden shimmers As radiant tresses Clasped in a velvet wrap Upon a stone We shall set The Light So, too, the Stars this night...

Of an ordinary evening Of an ordinary day With an ordinary sky And an ordinary star But the fact that We have classified These things as ordinary Dictates that they are, in fact, Not Ordinary For what is ordinary Inside The Black Hole In which we reside? Absolute time is dispossessed And aeons pass Before we experience The Great Event But just when we think It is over It begins anew Before it has finished And in this manner We exist From one conjucture To the next Fillings our minds With morsels of matter Of what will come Before the End of the Beginning Until the moment of A colossal burst In which all Time Erupts fantastically Energy and Spirit Mind and Matter Cataclysmically Blown apart Only to reunite Pulling inwardly Each Particle and Atom To a new formation Awhirl in Pulsations Gravitations Radiations And Annihilations Spinning endlessly Saturated The Flotsam and Jetsam Of the Universe LiNdA...
