A Traipse of Light
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 the sun
hits behind a mask of dust
window shades and layered rust
the broke back addict bent in more
buys sight unseen eyes to the floor
begging beauty to reflect
the fuel to feed hopes neglect
turns the wheel for 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 into twilight's gloom
a knee upon surrendered doom
the world a blossom in perilous bloom
her petals sculpt destined wings
rise in hue to sail or sink
fall for battered might
scattered fireflies clutter bright
seen as fiery spots across the sky
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
Terry D’Arcy-Ryan
