the relentless unbroken light
breathes in the fathom night
walking darkness one last time
tousled red silk strands ignite
dying strings for bleaches smite

ruthless emerges with the sun
hits behind a mask of dust
window shades and layered rust
the broke back addict bent in more
buys sight unseen face to the floor

begging beauty for something to reflect
the fuel to feed hopes neglect
turns the wheel in a kaleidoscope effect
colors splattered over shattered glass
spinning silver in lights finesse

pressing images in depth of design
waves engulf a surge to tide
spilling over twilight's gloom
a knee upon surrendered doom
the world a blossom in perilous bloom

petals sculpt destined wings
rise in hue to sail or sink
fall from the sky in battered might
scatter fireflies cluttered bright
fiery spots stretching the sky

illumination over wonder
the artist’s splendor
hand to a chisel and hammer
creator carving bone into matter
seeker of perfection in a spine

the humble tumble freewill’s divide
a chance of life or death divine
as they crumble side by side
reaching for heaven to find
the relentless unbroken light
