Needing Space

“distance makes the heart grow fonder”
although I think it also resurrects
an ideal (and optimism) that perhaps
had been worn thin
by close association

Earthbound

Desert Sunset

Celestial pearl
In a womb
Of blue iridescence
Beyond —
Starry wonders

Gravity

Space

The astronaut who once dreamed
Of milky galaxies spread
Like jewels on the velvet sheath of space
Now finds himself longing for
The green veld of his fathers
And a firm ground that pulls him
Into an embrace that says:
He is loved and too precious to be let go of.

Where Dreams Go

On a bed of red poppies
We dreamed higher than the stars
And the wind that stirred the grass
Blew the sails of thoughts and hopes
Beyond the veil of blue to
An infinitely inviting space
