A New Nebula

"Sight of both eyes lost",... 
I wake up in a world of infinite darkness.
My new receptors learnt to succor my woe. 
A shadow cast in an illusion of light, 
now winks and mocks my scourge. 
Asteroids crash deep within my citadel of dreams,
and swirl in a black hole of a pit
usurping a halcyon montage of images. 

But within deep eons of my mind,
ionized dust squash together into unknown plasma.
A  revolving square of  astral grandeur 
A new galaxy is born in my nebula..
Rapacious Red and Flamboyant Orange
now brighten all my black to refulgent glory.

Light years away in a sea of new cosmic space, 
I search my old love... in my new moon.
