Arc light

CATEGORY

life

Views: 101

 

the post

which holds the lamplight 

stands guard 

a silent sentry

as

natural light 

goes swiftly

away

into

horizons beyond 

 

a sensor

awakens a capacitor,

which

creates an arc,

as

a spark jumps

 

to the filament which ignites

in a vacuum

 

explodes quietly

shimmering to life

 

glows brightly from its heart

 expanding to 

the point of equilibrium

within its soul force

 

balancing perfectly within its core

as micro subatomic particles 

do their thing...

 

radiantly stream 

hum gently in a tone

 

known only to the group  

within its family of elements

 

its valance electrons taking wing

in a song sung in

an ancient tongue  known throughout the universe

 

darkness once more falls away

 

as if, a second stage of a rocket capsule

flung into the far reaches of space

 

as what appears dark 

reveals its substance, more...

succinctly,

 

subatomic fuel? 

which feeds the stars

or universal kindling

 

of the material energy source,

indistinguishble from 

its energetic form...

 

as a visionary might 

percieve at the heart of universal sight

 

showering its rich source of manna  

to rage against the night

...dark and cold

 

burning oil, mimics 

this, too...

 

smoldering to life 

as the lamp is lighted

 

it serves the purpose   

i suppose...

 

smoking 

because its old, 

 

perhaps a little too wet 

oil, absorbing 

its ancient memories

 

once made from the essence

of

living plants and animal remains

 

although, 

the dark matter... it retains 

still, 

dark and richly

glows... 

its godly essence, 

invisible to others sight...

for us 

 

needing an external transfusion of warmth... 

 

a welcome sight to the three wise men

following the star...

just as then, now...

sensing the fuel source 

has been almost depleted

where can we now go...

to earn our place, 

as keepers of the fire 

from the perspective 

of the Celestine...

as we...

must restore

our truest place...

despite, or is it just due

for obstacles, which season us

brave and few... to do great things, 

for this reason, we have dark energy  

in our very souls... provided, by the Creator

which animates our spirits, so much so...

others jealousy, fuels their hypocrisy

and so, even though we may need

to go the last steps alone...

we have been willing to spend

ample time in reflection/solitude

not being rude, nor to...intrude,  

not to attack, but to gain back

restoration of the heartfelt fuel,

atone for our transgressions

once more, clear the smoke

replenish faith and hope

initiate transfusion 

focused back to

soul source

 

 

time,

as if

an hourglass

 

falling ever faster...

as if...

itself, becomes a fuel

and its running low

 

to those of us...

 

born,

knowing 

what to... 

do

I agree with LP45, C2. I particularly enjoyed the imaging atomic metaphoric enlightening wordplay flowing a beautiful allegorical message, giving light "...to those of us, born, knowing..." our mission-purpose. Thanks for this powerful share. Peace and Love.
