Of Crystal Castles and Crashing Waves

By Scott Thomas Outlar

Of Crystal Castles and Crashing Waves

Into the breach!
(even if an abyss)
march, hut, two
x 4 x 6 [+] 64

God is an equation/a flux in the field
scattered about
slung around
yet unified
somewhere safe
behind the scenes

Whether your answers
arrive
or not

Whether your prayers
find promise
or go up in smoke
as signals dispersed
by the sands of…

Time out!
(space shift)
calm, breathe, sigh
x siren x stargaze [-] confusion

Love is a blank check/an IOU theory
centered in zeroes
bundled in pairs
soon cashed
when cards
start crumbling

Poignant fragmented prism's through the eyes and penned by a spirited old soul.
Lovely poem Scott!
