Distant Dreams
Thoughts and other Things
For the little ones
The cold and sandy desert floor
The rock
I sit upon
Soon to be no more.
I gaze up to the far beyond
Through stars and plasma
My eyes now weak
Find the haven
For which they seek.
Beautiful Oria
and Orid too
You my children
Will grow up soon
A lesson that you both must heed
Of Humankind, the lands you seed
Trust not for them to proceed
With respect in all their deeds.
From their mistakes we can go on
And build for all
New Worlds of Love
Hearts and Souls
Idyllic places, full of joy
Where children run and play
Safe
***To live out all their days***
Going Home
5 billion years ago I came
From a distant place to a new domain
I called it Earth
and watched it grow
from seeds I planted long ago.
Primordial soup they call it now
Not knowing at all
the why or how.
From spirit to hawk
the Harrier came
ancient ones revered his name.
but all to human he became
From Legend to Myth
the stories grew,
the Hawk was loved
where e're he went,
he seemed to be from heaven sent.
Now tired and old under desert skies
Repatriation !
focused in my eyes.
My work is done
I loved and lost.
Now others come
To build,
to finish
all at my cost.
A flash of light streaks 'cross the sky,
at last they're here
I see the beam
and start to float
my spirit flickers and is gone.
***I'M GOING HOME***
Intervention
This poem was recently awarded the Editors Choice in an anthology entitled
Capture the Moment by Tangled Hearts Publishing
I saw the face of God last night
Reflected in the pale moonlight
He looked upon the earth and me
And then upon the shining sea.
I looked up into his eyes
So clear
So blue and oh so wise
He smiled
Then, in a torrent words did flow
Sudden anger for all to see,
Why do you do this thing to me, My Earth, My Stars MY Universe
Mankind you have become a curse, of galaxies you know not of
Distant places out in space, they all despise the Human Race.
It's time you see your Gods to please
To clean your air your ground your seas.
I felt the fire within his soul
And said "Oh God I don't control
Those in power upon this earth of which I know we have a dearth".
He replied sardonically
Remove the "r" thats what you'll have
For just how long we hold your hand is not for you to understand.
Benign to you I am right now, but when the solar winds do blow
Directions change, mankind may feel the flow
A sad and touching smile I saw
Fly 'cross his face
And I too, did despair for the Human Race
The reflection rippled and was gone
So I must alone now journey on, his weight to carry
His words to heed
And with this poem so plant the seed.
'Tis time for me to go my way
Before our tomorrows
