Similar to Noah's, and in an analogous way,
That was the catalyst for the rise of the rainbow.
After the flood, Noah has warranted the decay,
This pledge will be obvious on the display.
Each dream we extol deserves deeming.
Depict a slew of rainbows into your living.
Our chimeras will bedim if we don't believe.
Each one reiterated faith and perspective.
We will be unparted from our everlasting love.
And the congruence warrant will not once shove.
God granted us a rainbow that glittered in the sky.
So that he could corroborate his powerful allay.
In the midst of the most hallowed light.
Though doubt frequently gives way to sight.
And consider living by faith rather than trust
That's what keeps you going and it is a must.
Sobbing may continue throughout the night.
As of yet, delight will return shortly after that.
In all its splendor in the early morning light.
There'd be no affliction if the stain had not spat.

Wondrous…
Efficacy enhanced; potency proliferated;
Encyclopedia at fingertips concentrated;
Communication convalescent; multi-merchandised,
The universe, like a toy at infant’s hands, mesmerized...
Yet…
Psychic eccentricities; emotional erosion;
Disorientation; bedim in vision and mission;
Homes divided; globe compartmentalized, isolated,
Rhythm of cosmos, like music of broken lutes, muted...

Distant volcano vents bedim
the ever-changing azure welkin
Drunk off demons carousing amuck
in my metaphysical crepuscule

the dispassionate color of no hope
has only walls of empty bedim white
the statutory color of no hope
has manifestation of a smudged life
the offended color of no hope
has mud stained dimming souls
I have destroyed the rest of the poem
so that, to say
that when i am destroyed there will be
no more words, that I will be able to write...
and you can not have them as
i can not have just-us

Act 1
Lights dim, a pregnant pause for silence to bedim.
A nod, then curtain rises, lights and eyes pries
Scene 1 to open with actors all set in pose enfrozen.
Called to action by director's wink, blink, nod of head.
Act 2
The play pans out as script reels unwind
Cued and checked by prompter nodding in the wings
Lest lines in memory slip and free fall
To crash in ad-libbed blabbered blusters.
Act 3
With a nod, last scene folds and curtain falls.
All actors scurry and clamber back on stage
For curtain call or calls, until claps subside satisfied.
One last nod calls it over, and actors slink off stage to wings

At Otter Lake, whilst welkin starry clear,
A ghostly wail bruits eerily despair,
And eyes appear alit like embers near,
At Otter Lake.
Avaunt, the trappers pray, bedim thy glare;
In sooth, thy mourning grieves a bygone year,
From earthly bourn, ascend to angels care.
Arose a zephyr, thick as bloodied air,
And shrieking withered every soul with fear,
To where a man durst lay his footsteps there,
At Otter Lake.
