Illuminare - Rolo Tomassi

A tremulous motion of light

Measure these flickers with a delicate hand

It flows so readily, a deepened agony

Tender to the thoughts of eternity

The appearance of entirety

We search for peace in these pieces

Dismantling absoluteness

Embrace veiled conflict

Unashamed to let this unfold

Its observations that have led us to this point

The nights we felt unable to shout

When cries are whispered into the depths of the dark

Scrawling out these sentences, etching onto reflections

Let these meanings disseminate

Stillness ringing out, it starts up and astounds

Let serenity resonate, project my ascent

Overthrow and illuminate, I will not relent

Marked by the stars, balanced in the scales

Here it lies, glistening, there is no applause for this

Radiate with ease, granted this relief

Resisted tales, drawn out in ink

I will not relent
