"Though free to think and to act, we are held together, like the stars in the firmament, with ties of light inseparable. These ties cannot be seen, but we can feel them. Each of us is only part of a whole." - Paraphrased after Nikola Tesla
"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration." - Nikola Tesla
“Tesla saw light not just as illumination, but as information.” — Annonymous

light

Listen to poem:
The crux of light lies,
deep within its flux of afterglow, 
in limbo.
Its will-o'-the-wisp,
Aurora Borealis, and St Elmo's Fire,
Its split into rainbow,
Its red shifts in time travel.
All its enigmas within, urge us to set,
the aftermath of shadows, aglow.

Congratulations on your trophy win in my contest, A Child of Light, John, with this stunner. It is saturated with shimmer and subtle disquiet—pulsing with that elusive liminality called for in the contest description. The tonal slippage in the final line is sublime in its execution! It doesn’t resolve the ambiguity; it illumines it.
