This poem is a bout blue light from electronic devices that stimulate our brains, and not necessarily our souls. Blue light interferes with falling asleep.\u00a0 Blue light is an evolutionary newcomer dominating our nervous system, in contrast to night skies replete with stars. I am not a big fan of so-called civilization replete with light pollution. I dream of delicious darkness punctuated only by stars. However, in reality, I only experience this constellation prize on relatively rare occasions. May we remember to look up when it is dark.<\/p>\n

Blue Light Unspecial<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As twilight reseeds
\nHour daze into sleep
\nAgin and agin
\nWe find ourselves fore gotten
\nMiring virtual realty
\nOur productivity fixed
\nBuy blue light unspecial
\nScreening our earthly calls
\nAs night skies are unread
\nOffering darkness
\nGiving way
\nTo berth of uncounted suns
\nAs salt
\nOf the earth shaken
\nBye heavenly seasoning
\nVisited up on us
\nBy a goodnight sleep
\nWhere dreams mete there maker
\nAnd awe is quiet wonderful
\nYielding why’d abandon
\nIn the wake<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
