Three Suns in an Ochre Sky
ESO/M. Kornmesser Three Suns in an Ochre Sky In the year thirty, thirty three At Gliese six-six-seven Cee We monitored our landing thrust then touched down gently in the dust. It wasn't until the second day That I could quietly slip away. Laboriously I climbed a hill And almost choking on the thrill I turned…

Child of the Universe
Small Magellanic Cloud Child of the Universe There exists a nameless, dream-like, wandering state anonymous To which, oddly, I aspire. A following of The Way, Quiet and unassuming in manner A self effacing journey of submersion Totally, without appeal into my Father's house, the Universe. Sometimes, people say kind words about my expression of my…

Victoria
Victoria I never knew you, little thing But I know you liked to sing Gymnastics in your Grampa's yard Your loving Grandma keeping guard. I know you laughed and felt the sun enjoyed a ton of simple fun A 'borrowed angel', for a while With such an honest, open smile. I never knew you, little…

My Refuge is a Sunlit Sky
My refuge is a Sunlit Sky No man can wander 'round this globe A staff in hand and hermit robe From child-like fresh to well-scarred old And fail to note so many ills. He may be brilliant, rich in skills And never want for bread or gold But if there lurks a heart beneath The…

In Saturn’s Patient Shadow
In Saturn’s patient shadow Shielded from the Sun’s glare I lingered for a while Mischievously, Reflecting on the sunlit byways As yet, untraveled Where Man, one day May gingerly, Set foot. Soaking in the Rings And saturated in immensity I’m delighted to see And hear, and sense The Great Cosmic Kindness A latent,…

I have stood on the surface of Mars
I have stood on the surface of Mars and seen, high in the sky, at sunset a tiny star, bright but small reminding me, in all its pale blue fragility of the smallness of Man. We are dreamers, you and I, fellow travelers, for a while puzzling out, musingly, the greatest quest ever conceived. I…

“Fading Scars “
You may have cut me deep, and I may still be bleeding, but I have let you go, and you will never realize, what you did was wrong, though neive as I was, you kept me lingering on, The scars I bare, have made me stronger, and now I know better, That I was young…
