Light Immemorial

There are no ends  
when you live on a
sphere

There’s only the roadblock
of cloudy
and clear

The skin of a circle
has no,
beginnings

The thrill of the chase
is lost
in winning

We live on a problem that lost
the solution

The answer is spinning
in our
revolution

We’re marvel and matter,
fiction,
and fate

We are the reverence
that wonder
creates

We are the dots of every lost
i

Banding at nightfall
to darken
the sky

We cannot light,
what isn’t
yet dark

A soul cannot glow
until
there’s a spark

The essence of truth
can only be felt

The lashes of lies
are those
that are dealt

The stars are the tombstones
of all,
that were born

Each time that we die
a new one
is born

Richy…You cook food for thought.  I especially liked this morsel:

"We are the reverence
that wonder
creates"

No, they don't, Richy and I doubt they ever will.

I do so love this, a lot of truths to let revolve around in my brain..

"We cannot light,
what isn’t
yet dark"

One of many that I enjoyed.
