Barely True to Burn




sub-stratmospheric sub-atomic rainbow clouds spinning electrical sky

miracle of mother nature formed of the sprinkling from her eye

electrical radian bridge of coral never late upon any hour
busy dizzy power core pulsating passion fruit
wrought flower

mamma's baby and the pappa's crazy her eyes are made of
purple wallers

blue sky flying high animals' boon
terrestrial bloom
brought to string airpower

mother nature, father time, baby earth

all in chorus' adaptive electron volt
kinetic-zeal chemica-peal raw-power

in a dream filled with the hope of fuel
to last through eternity's
~
ever-brightening bell tower
