Grave

              Grave

Beyond the light the morning star provides

Are depths and distances behind, around,

And promising.  They are eternal tides,

Eternal only as such light is bound

By borderlands of physics.  Morning star

Illumination reaches from the dawn

Of constellations, past wide space, and far

Past whispering places prophecies have drawn.

Beyond the light, the evening star as night

Approaches, are those threats and pledges made

That we intuit.  They are like a blight

Or beauty’s eschatons that never fade.

..The morning star and evening star are poles

….More sacred than the holiest of scrolls.
