The Imperfection of Visible Light

by Star   Feb 5, 2020


The world we live in,
revolves around the
electromagnetic radiation
in the perfect range of
wavelength.

But the images that flash
in front of my eyes are dark,
and the memories terminated
themselves, for them to
reborn today in duller
shades.

If theories of science
supported light and color
are impossible to break,
unless the universe is shutting
itself down.

Then why is my spirit pale,
and the hues of my life
toned down?

    "But the images that flash

    and the memories terminated

    shades."

    maybe change 'for them to reborn today' to 'only to be reborn' flows a bit better.

    and

    'If theories of science
    supported light and color
    are impossible to break,
    unless the universe is shutting
    itself down.'

    maybe reword it, so it's a bit more clear something like

    'if theories of science
    supports that light and color
    are impossible to break
    unless the universe itself
    is shutting down'

    or something along those lines.

    I really like this though, the idea of tying in science & poetry, pondering why things seem more dull for the speaker/character. The title is really well chosen too, it staged the poem exceptionally well.
