erstwhile a halcyon extant universe incessantly ceaseless
cradled itself in hues of violet phosphorescence
laced with cobalt shimmering stars
perpetually whole it nonetheless
sought to know itself
encompassing all that is bubbling over in effervescent ebullience
intertwined with indescribable catastrophic splendor
it shattered into tens of millions of splinters
of eloquent efflorescent light
shining in the night
each splinter heretofore imbued with sempiternal felicity
began to conjure sumptuous dulcet elixirs
furtively seeking out savory emollients
to mollify the pique of separation
plummeting they fell
into monstrous competition seeking demesne they lost the purpose
of gaining awareness and intelligent consciousness
surreptitious estrangement overflowed
deluging them in excruciating agony
thus an epiphany was born
the carving of the beleaguered fragments inked with tremendous pain
created a transfiguration of splinters to crystals
hence enlightenment commenced as the gems
magnetized together constructing a world
where omnipotence shines
the ineffable beauty formed by the reintegration of crystals
far exceeds the original as they dazzle with universal light
bursting from diamonds etched in deep wisdom
flooding the firmament with kaleidoscopic
rainbow strobes cascading the sky

WELCOME JANE ~ Thanks you for your first poem which is a beautifully crafted free verse poem presented in six matching quintets. The content of the poem and your linguistic mastery is also exemplary. In Stanza 1. We meet a restless Universe seeking to know itself. S 2. Its wholeness shatters itself into tens of millions of "splinters". S 3. The "splinters" are ~ piqued at separation ~ and go into free fall ! S 4. Having lost their unity they agonise resulting in an epiphany which leads us into S 5. in which the "fragments" are transfigured into crystals (gems) which when magnetized together form an Omnipotent World ! S 6. Completes the poem and informs the reader that the beauty of the New Universe ~ formed by the reintegration of the crystals ~ far exceeds the original ! The firmament is flooded with rainbow strobes cascading the sky. WISDOM said let there be LIGHT and the LIGHT burst forth and it could never be diminished. That was how I saw it ~ thanks for caring and sharing ~ Yours BRIAN
wow a fabulous review brian......i am delighted! thank you so much.
Night is still shining in the light. This has created a transfiguration of splinters to crystals. Very worthy wisdom this carries. This is mesmerizing. An outstanding poem this is. Beautiful colorful picture accompanies this poem and makes this specially philosophical.
