Across Earthen Sky and Mystical Realms

Across Earthen Sky And Mystical Realms And where was the light of truth and spirit? Racing hot, chariots wheels in fires. The Light sublime, flees when one but nears it its glowing path vanished as it retires. Across earthen sky and mystical realms gold eagle flies into kingdoms not born. Such breath of awe, rebels and overwhelms the soul that finds its deep solitude torn. Did Greek Gods dare warn of man's futile quests with deceptive hearts, minds loaded with greed If in a pure giving heart one invests, comes forth the fruits of a heavenly seed. Fruits of paradise, grow in thoughts sublime man's quest should be more than seeking more time. R. J. Lindley, Dec 11th, 1977 Note: Excuse me for rarely posting new poems. I find it so hard to write much with my mother in such a serious condition .... Once I could easily write ten poems a day but now for weeks its a hard struggle to even write one.. Even my one a day poems for my darling wife have suffered lapses. As has my commenting to all my friends and fellow poets here. Special apology to my great friends the Duggans as my lapses are not from laziness but from melancholy, a progressing forgetfulness(ALZ) and blues.
