This night is taking shape
with beautiful solitude
wrapped in obsidian
darkness is light
stars opal and crystalline
supernaturalised
in phosphorescense
dreamers glow and hope
always celestial
fear has no place here
reality is frozen and I
am ethereally bound
to slumberous worlds
and unexplained dimensions

I walk down the street
otherworldly my feet
don’t connect with the
concrete pavement
as it is in my nature to
daydream
my mind saunters along
traipsing in auburn
on a somewhat unruly morn
scattering its light through
the empyrean gloom
cloudscapes greyly linger
trying to depress and smother
the heavens meditation
exhaling copper flares
luminous streaks sigh
I breathe in autumn
and let it out
4747 leaves fell
and I have yet again
been reborn
in their bonfire beauty
new beginnings
are strewn along
pathways and roads
red golden and orange
I am joyous in this knowledge
this time will always be the
occasion of life
seasonally a phoenix
rejoiced in motherhood

What if life is already
death flashing before us in
our final breaths
a nuclear fusion of
existence and extinction
