Poem 25 of 43

Energy

by Nathan Jellerson

A luminous seed, water droplet, autumn leaves, and featherlike threads beneath refracted light emerging from darkness

ghost or surreal

light bends towards all ends of the sphere

threads of a feather

space extends and refracts

lightning divides and subtracts

I am here

alive, my thoughts among the ground

The light breaks

The author weeps

energy sprouts from the seed

hope springs up

daylight, star bright

autumn hides her face from summer

a teardrop within the dusty road

a teardrop I once recalled

before water held a name

the ocean finds my sadness

hope laced in a jar with sunlight detached

leaves dance with a forgotten feather

your face turns away from memory

fingerprints of the mind

this thought to trace a maze

this thought to find

the sky exhales once again

another thread gives rise to a spark

a spark created howls from beyond the dark

energy beats once more

energy to spark my heart
