Unexplained Brilliance

A sudden sonoluminescence manifested in a river of eyes, a sigh drawing vision The spray of their rays issued into a void barren of illumination, its essence devoured with the absence of brilliance Broken skies illuminated with scars, fragmented earth felt the first radiance, one burst bequeathed life Startled orbs can now perceive with no sight, folded forms can now move like untied kites A desolate darkness was extinguished, with an inexplicable sound wave of light

Thanks Huberta, its actually about the phenomenon I listed below giving it another life in poetry so to speak :) Very glad you liked it love Jayne xxx... Sonoluminescence is the emission of short bursts of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound.
