Deep Dreams

in the deepest of my deep dreams I shall take my little dream boat away and away from the earth I shall gently slowly surely float outwards in between the planets I shall haul and jib tack and run setting my sheets to catch in full the wind streaming off the sun past the outer giant’s shining rings to the very edge of solar space my little boat will gather speed and ever faster I will surely race riding with the giants that swim the vacuum seas the whales of space that travel with greatest ease to the end of the universe along their timeless track leading to eternity then curving back past that little star insignificant in space that makes the life on my birth place past the little shining ball of blue the very near despoiled earth take one last look for what its worth ashes to ashes dust to dust we destroy the earth we were given in trust time to begin my final curving eternal run to journey’s end in the depths of the sun my eyes wont reach past the light that blinds but I can see it’s glory down deep in my mind little boat will take me surely to my sleep through the fringing oceans into that solar deep sense the glory fading slowly from mind sight as I gently sink into that endless night serenaded by the whales giving me their song perhaps they are saying in leaving I belong
