The Far Elsewhere
Defined by what it is not–
every particle of light
silent, startling.
A journey neither up nor down,
neither here nor there–
defined by what it is not.
Centered in the outer reaches,
jeweled and huge–
every particle of light.
Remaining as day becomes night,
as seasons fall apart and rearrange themselves–
silent, startling.
For Sue Vincent’s photo prompt, above. The poem is a cascade, a similar form to the pantoum which I have been using so much lately.

You got me at the title. (Of course. 🙂 ) The cascade is perfect. Circle of light, life, what is and not. . .
