Birth of a Poetry

Resplendent, shaped through storm, and light bent
rays of bright against a dark horizon,
the sky, a solid force of comfort meant
to remind how vast our thoughts, clipped, hemmed in
only by imagination's traps.
If you close your eyes, like a midnight sky
the darkness opens, space and time collapse,
allowing thoughts to split, diversify;
but like restless lovers they risk return,
yearning to embrace the other, this blend
of color, thought and motion: a sojourn
for open minds, where word and phrase transcend
the possibilities of sound and theme,
beyond the well-worn realms of real and dream.
