Through Pisces to Aquarius III

             III
The seeds of empty promises
Soon sprout a shallow happiness
That flowers as despairing rage
In those benefiting the least
From material convenience.
Cities violently erupt,
Becoming harbingers of fear
That quickly spread throughout the land.

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.

“Help is coming”
```
Help is coming—
It is in your mind
If you stop your games
And find the time.

And if you look
You still can see
Your non-existence
Must cease to be.

Into the solar family

To drift further away
From the place of their birth
And into the comfort
Of newly found orbits

Self Portrait

Somehow caught in the sands of time,
Consonants and vowels still commingle
To slowly waltz across the page.
In fleeting glimpses of the Eternal,
This child prodigy of plus forty
Wanders the deserts day and night
Endlessly scratching black on white
In full dress rehearsal of Life.
