Until the brightness of now is dulled
With a patina of etched experience
Gather light into explosions of consciousness
Unhinging regrets and worries
As each moment flares beacon-like
Summoning looks and observations
Perhaps immediately
Or later, when the speed of events
Circles the sun and returns as a reflection
That gives pause and appreciation
For each starbright daisy-chained state of intensity
Found in the now of here
In the now of you
Watching stories unfold with predictable uniqueness
Like protostars arriving in cosmic nebulae
Radiating with explosive insistence
To brighten the night
