Past Light

As far as memory goes,
red light is the first thing
in line for recall.

It's a glow, a glowering 
face, showered with what
you might call the opposite
of power. 

Fear and rambling, a scramble
lit up with trembling and that
aforementioned bright.

So, waves and lengths, shorter
or longer as the day has it,
can a mind move beyond the
fronds, ashen and past?
