Rolo Tomassi - Illuminaire

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
It’s observations that have lead 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 on reflections
Let these meanings disseminate.

With 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.
