Eyes in refraction 
focus on the depths of thoughts--
visual daydreaming!...

Atmospheric refraction
Apparent distance

Diamond
A softly dim
And then suddenly, as
Illumined with white light becomes
Dauntless...

proud tree straight
shepherding the refraction of light
into wistful eyes

The true light unites

            stream of object too subject,

                refraction repaired......

Gossamer breath borne
Infused with God’s refraction
Of MORNING sunlight

Expelled again from cosmic matters
The fool consults his satellite
Eager to shred to tatters
All ambition to fight
Structured tyranny
Rolling over
Civil minds
Without
Fear...

Glassy-Eyed Refraction

There was a sweet girl of pure glass.
Met a merry man with no class.
She’d shattered this bloke.
He drank til she broke.
Both attended funeral mass.

 Refracting morn's light
Aurora Borealis
Beauty touched spirit
Sunrays pierce trees through forest
Moment captured forever

The bending light from the headline
News
As it enters my optic
Nerve
Resonates from eager
Fingertips
Coursing to my
Cortex
As the crisp crunch of
Paper
Crackles in self
Satisfaction
The pungent wisp of fresh
Paper
And strong
Ink
Refract
A
Poem

...I can touch

Though Time has dwindled me to motes,
My dust remains in sunset’s light—
A pattern faintly forms and floats
Discernible before your sight.

Indefinite and vague, yet there,
A wisp of what I was persists
Split-second long upon bright air—
Then vanishes in violet mist....

Refraction of light when
Rays of sunlight pass through
Raindrops sprinkled by clouds
Reflections behind drops
Release hues of magic 
Rainbow iridescent
Revives hopes to rejoice

Once when a fresh faced young girl named Mame,
    Who had a face-lift, when seeking fame.
    But the mirror's refraction
    Gave her no satisfaction.
    For her visage, portrayed an old dame.

RAINBOWS

Newton spoiled it all for me.
Rainbows were obviously 
God’s colour spree
He splashed about with glee.


Beauty was their strength and attraction.
Now it’s all just wavelength  and refraction.
 

Thank  God  though
Newton never saw  the glow 
Of  ice bows and fog bows 
I can still enjoy their shows....

A wondrous arc, I beheld

Perfection in its form,

From what hand, or artists brush

Was such beauty born.

The teachers tell us what it is,

Just raindrops and refraction.

But my romantic heart,

Sees heavenly interaction.

Evening sky artist's pallette, shades
of the flickering candle flame.

Scintillation, Iridescence
light's refraction makes the perception.

Yellow, orange and reds compliment
Each other in perfect harmony

Complimentary colors blended
pleasingly to the artist eye.



Written for Brian Strands contest --Intervals.
thanks for the challenge!!...

My heart made trips
Selective on occasion
And comprisable on others
Its technique is quite mesearable
Like the light refraction in the sky
Its goes through and around
Settling for just a season
Interchanging with the moon
Dancing on the ocean edges
Tipsy and fragile
Making another move on its own
How can I follow my hearts
While its on a rollercoaster
Using gravity to maintain balance...

Listen to poem:

Osmosis 
David J Walker

		the explanation 
drinking from 
a warm and loving
labyrinth of redemption

perception
		reflection
refraction 
		thought 
in action
		perfection
the cost
		lost to
inflection
		misdirection
rejection
		disaffection
contemplation 

		of subjection 
retroflection

for the only one
		worth losing

 to the notion
of falling to

the osmosis
of love...

ELIMINATION
Crocodile swallows body of human,
Devil kisses her organ.
Poisonous snake licks human.
See here perfect reflection.

 Vessel wants to touch barren of green valley.
Poisonous snake touches lingerie.
Devils forget lineage means ancestry.
See there refraction of sympathy.

  See tears of crocodile.
 Sigh of devils.
Poisonous forget to kisses.
 Keep my love and sympathy where no trace of Devils.

Delineation
By symbolisation
As the uttered word
Finds all hearts stirred
By the power of vibration
Coloured by their interpretation 
As of purity of their being
In resonation feeling
Marked by intent
With will bent
In surrender
In wonder
Co-creating
By experiencing
Stirrings in the heart
Wherein cognition starts
Anew at each given moment
Heightened by stillness quotient

My being is a mirror of the cold.
Flows through me, like wind and mold.
Flakes that can fly, bite, and hold.
The beauty of clear winter evenings unfolded.
Snowfall is enhanced by the trees exposed. 
When lakes freeze, the kids shift to rink mode.
We omit each item from the scold.
However, we do not know what winter will hold.
This is the real springtime prize foretold

When the Earth’s star rises,

 I see you.

 When the mountains swallow the sky,

 I taste you.

 When the waves kiss the clouds,

 I feel you.

 The blue sky is my ocean,

 in its sweet expanse

 and nebula wisps.

 And you are the prism I behold,

 a vibrant band, iridescent.

 The ark that stretches toward the horizon,

 from end to end, infinite.

 Refraction and reflection, your halo,

 cascading vapors of light and love....
