Miranda orbits along a path of time and ice
Rotating Uranus almost in her retrograde near by
Moves upside down while dancing with the stars
On the ecliptic, by the equator they go on
The belly of the Milky highway arises
From our perspective everything is right
An accretion disc forms flat against the black
There is nothing wrong with that
Miranda stands but as a dot, small, almost invisible
Undetected by the naked eye
As she meanders through the universe unlighted
Scarred for life, etched out collisions with the night
Carved rocks on surfaces for what it's worth
Peculiar yet beautiful in the dark
Held in line, perpendicular to the solar sinking plane
In the grip of time, in the hold of Uranus's tidal forces
Sidled in proximity to her companion built of ice and gas
Life itself should be so large, to have a giant world with you
Made of blue to go through life through
Marching to the tune of equilibrium
It is her game. It is her name, Miranda Anonymity

Cancer Was the Match,
That Set My Fields on Fire
Written: by Tom Wright
12/2/2014
The path in life that I formerly pursued,
Whether aptly marked or vegetated trail;
Found most days all too frequently skewed,
So I sought God’s face to help me prevail.
For the thing staring at me I had no answer,
Neither peace nor joy was within my heart.
I’d been diagnosed with Parotid Gland Cancer,
And the new direction chosen, had its start.
No longer was life seen on hold, but on restart,
I’d surrendered to Jesus, authority in my life.
God began cultivating in me His work of art,
He began by guiding a Doctor’s surgical knife.
Now I no longer travel some unlighted path,
But the one which God the Father approved.
With time mostly passed I’ll escape his wrath,
Lest from the Book of Life, my name’s, removed;

I sing to the heart
In the holy presents of day light
Sing and praise
So in the dark shall be the light
I'll write from an unlighted heart
Sing and praise
I write the word I want you to read
Listen to the words of song and praise

dark tremors do take one to unlighted places,
what triggers this loss of our hold on the paces?
cold scared and alone in reality unknown,
yet still footprints i leave in a world of my own
drenched, shaking the chill off from journeys in stoned
waking dreams shatter faces of villains we know

Take me seriously
and walk with your grassy mad footsteps
over the downstream of my river.
Chant as the rumbling river never
chant my funereal tale before .
Chant and lessen the death exultation
which as a sober guest
hides in his pockets my darkness.
Chant and let your poetry, wandering at night
to attract around it spacious light in exile right here.
Chant since a long time
I had never been ran orthograde
in the gloomy darkness while flows;
ripple and rising above the ah of the human cry,
above my arms, and my vows,
above a thousand of thousands of pickets
crucified sinless on it , my body.
Take me seriously oh my companion and
shout and erase the unlighted signs,
which planted in the history page,and
chant as the rumbling river never
chant the funereal tale before .

The hate of time havocs foolish fate
And I, no one's blank slate
Will not my conscience hesitate
Or cast my eyes down at evening's gate.
You are neither victim nor demon since
You of your error is unconvinced
I am a child no more to wince
When white sheets of mind befouled are rinsed
I make my decisions without the noise
And cheap popularity's phony poise
But as humble I'd fear forfeit a sunrise
And have fool graffitied on unlighted eyes.
I have tried picking up time before
The past like frost from hoar
Had only present, and memory more
Than spite makes every pain a spore

Look off, dear Love, across the sallow sands,
And mark yon meeting of the sun and sea,
How long they kiss in sight of all the lands.
Ah! longer, longer, we.
Now in the sea's red vintage melts the sun,
As Egypt's pearl dissolved in rosy wine,
And Cleopatra night drinks all. 'Tis done,
Love, lay thine hand in mine.
Come forth, sweet stars, and comfort heaven's heart;
Glimmer, ye waves, round else unlighted sands.
O night! divorce our sun and sky apart
Never our lips, our hands

In a harborless sea I was sailing, being tossed too and fro by despair,
sinking deeper beneath an unlighted wave of woe;
surfaced by faith alone.
In a foggy haze I once wandered, trying to please while dismayed I was,
no good in me only Grace you see;
given from the one who set me free.
In a canyon of darkness I dwelt, being led by an unseen hand,
firm is the grip that will not let me go;
loving and strength is the One who gave.
In a valley of dust I tried and failed, accompanied by a presence so devine,
standing by me is my rest and only hope;
eternity is just beyond the rise ahead.
In a joy encompassed embrace, forever I will remain,
no fears shall alram me,
drawn nearer unto my harbor; my God!
