Springtime on the DonetsClownish yaw engines
Spin us about
The blue sphere we inhabit
Its future in doubt
Our cumulus cloud shroud
Conceals the pain
Of tanks, missiles and pogroms
And unburied slain...

One For OneCreating one more empty space
for every one I fill
Answers close within themselves
— questions open still

Utterly Preposterous
Aliens DO exist and they are observing us guys
The way we interact with each other
What advice do you think they would give us
Would they throw up their hands in disgust
And say, “it's no use... people...

Nature's Flower Runs Through My FearsNature's flower runs through my fears,
Her old seasons there interceding
On the silver gray blunt of the shears,
Where the stem—sharpened by night—is keeping
For the day's rain starving in the clouds;
This time, it needs your weeping.
When coming...

Feeling UnwonderfulThe thick forest's hill with wild flowers
rolls through perfumed daises meadows,
that are a haven to lovely hummingbirds:
among thick trees there no waterfowls!
These colorful birds avoid eerie darkness,
they wake up at the appearance of light;
they can't...

nothingnessmass austerity
within singularity
there's no clarity
flickers in darkness
motion overcomes starkness
throws off death's harness
gravity freeing
nothingness begets being
one lost in fleeing
the movement divides
that which expansion decides
existence abides
spawns evolution
universal solution
until conclusion
all lost in own space
seeking to fill everyplace
in outward...

The reality I have gave for spaceThe reality I have gave for space
For the reality of the presence of being.
By the formation of the substance and elements.
Those who are not in space;sand,stone parts,duststones.
Stones intensified for the asset.
The structures of flexible stones.

April 13 Signal First Contact
In the movie, the” signal”
An Astronaut receives
A signal from an alien spaceship
Heading to earth
The alien repeats the word
Hello in multiple languages
While heading to Earth.
The discovery electrifies
And terrifies the world.

Space Tapestries A Star Wars TributeNow, a duel of the fates;
Green and red lightsabers
buzz with that trademark sound;
To choose the easy path;
Who will win? Our hearts pound;
Now, a duel of the fates;
Jedis don’t know anger
they prefer a clear mind;
As...

questioning lifefinding life's essence
with nature's acquiescence
and stoic presence
not all agreeing
what constitutes revealing
nature of being
stray quarks rearrange
universe generates change
most simple, some strange
metamorphosis
in broader analysis
cosmic calculus
more space demanding
gravity notwithstanding
outward expanding
soon how becomes why

Stelliferous
Stelliferous the stars o’erspread
that lace the heavens overhead
and sparkle plentifully bright
to grace the atramental night
when face of lumined sol has fled.
Sidereals the skies embed
bejeweling where dreamers tread
to render poets’ fancies quite
stelliferous.
With wonderment the welkin’s wed
to...

astral plainastronomers often describe
the path of their heavenly ride
far off in the distant night sky
defining what's higher than high
luminous wavelength emitters
heavenly hosts all aglitter
lost in gravitational trance
each dancing unique cosmic dance
charted starlight guiding the way
for ships...

Put a Light in that AtticThere's a space with no light.
So much crammed up there!
Wonderful treasures in the front,
Trash in behind.
Images and memories all muddled together.
Loads of ideas and half thought out plans
scattered all over the place.
Should have had some...
