Reflections

Infinity awaits in an unclear reflection,
Refracted from a smoked quartz prison,
Life exists as an extension of light,
Steady, rhythmic, flowing,
Legacy unbroken,
By the fickle shifting of the frame,
As it struggles with abstraction,
Life becomes a flow of sensation,
Pleasure into pain,
Circle comes 'round,
Back again,
Swept by the dark tides of emotion,
Moved enough to feel connection,
'Ere we die,
I have dreamt and touched the sun,
I have slept and touched everyone,
Tenderly like refracted light,
Prismatic and benign,
To ignite the glint in your eye,
One with the fire that rages through time,
Life is wrought from the light,
Hope exists in the glint of your eye,
Though beset on every-side,
Inscribed in eerie, rainbow hues,
Derived from blood,
Etched deep down with ethereal light,
Reflected by the retina,
I am light,
I am alive.

    This was pretty hardcore. I liked how you mentioned, as it would seem in life, for every once of good and triumph there's an equal amount of failure and pain. I myself am still learning how to bounce back from it all. The last six words...seems to be saying, to me anyways, by seeing the light of the new day...your alive...and can start again.
    Excellent.

    incredibly in depth, insightful and in my finding quite beautiful.
