And every time
Find something new
Some original way to see
Some valuable insight
The light
Flat as the calm sea
And equally tranquil
A scene
Rendered entirely in charcoal and smudge
But for a band of cottony hanging fog
I seek the frame
In which destruction’s beauty
Can be seen
But it can, I replied.
She looked at me. Puzzled.
It just needs to be cinematically ugly.
Which is to say
It must still be beautiful.
Still puzzled.
So I expanded.
But here is a rainforest
In this brooding monochrome
The nature of its beauty lies
And come to revel in it
Have I and many others
And here am I
In my little boat
Hauling logs across
The slate blue sea
Of a world
I hold in awe
Often
That is enough
To learn the nature of darkness
So I may seek the source
Beyond the world I know
