Mindglass

I stare into the tablet of the mind:
a crystal slate imbued with darkling ray,
to flash the grasped-upon in briefest find
before extinguishing again to lay
in a graveyard of thought—
down, down upon the depth
of that gemmed neural net
where I am turns am not.

A glare upon the surface catches fire
from the glint of an unknown illuminaire;
all through its brilliant promise to burn higher
I glance, I pierce, dispel and I must stare
into its cradle of glass
all sharp edge, dust, and dregs,
molten bone-shard and slag
and it writhes as I pass.

I love those your art works. The first two have closely related colors and something in common. The first is more like an eye into the mind.

Thank you for sharing.

I'm glad you enjoy these experiments! I quite honestly have no clue what I'm doing most of the time and just keep tinkering until I end up with something I like. Thanks for sharing your impressions of them... Steem (and sketch) on :-)

Haha, sometimes, that's how inspiration comes. Creating or bringing something out of nowhere to reality and to the imagination.
