Shine

Light moves, incessantly
Incessantly still, upon observation
Upon observation, the observer is drawn lightly upon the background

Who is the observer, or the observed

Its path is straight and narrow, but fills all
Dark space it does not penetrate, would not exist without it
Dark space it does not penetrate, will someday see its shafted faces, peering, through

The cracks of time

Pure potential
Lacking will, it achieves all
Achieving all, it needs no will

Man, the slow light
With a quick heartbeat
When light and man

Meet
It is the contrast of ourselves
Shines
