Unfurl thyself Uncoil amongst the sterile breath Of myriad star-births As fauna hewn from singularity A shimmering pellucid bloom of myopic radiation Paints a voidscape of febrile beauty Upon the weakeneing fabric of accepted reality The bedrock of faith naught but dust What secrets thus dwell within this sanguine shroud? What lies hidden within burning alcoves thus aflame? The fires rage - a silent maelstrom The shadows thicken - where there is light, there is darkness Illumination underscored by the umbra of the unknown Starlight - iridescent, violent and vivid Pour raditation unto the vortex of ignorance A hopeless, pitiful yearning grows TO rend the skein of etherial emptiness I reach towards a patina of death-born promises Clutching at rotting gossamer threads I call again - a wordless scream for knowledge I call again - a desperate howl for revelation Granted the limitless sight of the ascended I turn away now blasted by unravelled thoughts I call again - silent greets a throat-shredding plea I call again - feeble cries echo in a vacuum of nothingness
