Sonnet to a Flyer

As we slowly leave the earth to ascend
Through clouds of our vision, toward infinity,
The heavens become our companion and friend.
Vast horizons unfold for eyes to see;
And while all of nature seems within reach,
Man’s miniature world begins to be dwarfed
By Creation’s splendor beyond all speech.
Behind us the sun sinks in shades of red;
Twilight brings the last quarter moon in view,
Darkness descends, stars winking into sight,
The Milky Way lightens the sky anew,
Flying east through the timelessness of night.
Light grows ahead, a new day being born;
With the sun we rise to heaven this morn.

The Dream Shelf
```
Reenter the Closet of Thought;
Sift through the forgotten debris
Left during many years of life,
And locate that special item
Buried somewhere on the Dream Shelf.

It is now winter;
The end—

And an avalanche of thought
For everyone.

Driftwood Daydream

Fifty-seven winters
I have perched on this coast,
To watch the tide rise up
Only to fall again.
I gawk at you bipeds
Gawking at me in awe,
When my outstretched wings touch
The distant horizon.

Birthing III

We have returned to the crossroads
Only to find all signs point Home

Again the choice is ours to make
Of hoping the Child is stillborn
Further delaying our journey
As we spin faster and faster
On the merry-go-round of life

Immaculate Conception I

The Idea of Cosmic Man
Carried within each soul at birth
Constantly reminds Consciousness
Of its duty to generate
Sufficient luminosity
To invite the Holy Spirit
For partnering in conceiving
The Celestial Embryo

For the New Born

Early morning unfurls
Initial rays of sun,
To touch and feel our world
From distant horizon.

O Newly Born!
Conceived of Love,
Into life you come
This eternal morn.

May you reach the stars
In an abundance of light,
Being as free as you are
Until sunset becomes night.

The spigot will open gushing
When the handle
In your mind
Is found.
