Notes About The Poem

Departure




"Departure"

In the majestic curves of galactic arms
we choose to dissolve all war and hate
we venture forth fast away from primeval captivity 
into the unknown welcoming cardiomegaly of It

what waits like Kaa wrapped around our scorched fate
beckoning our inner worlds like glowing orbs
we are swallowed into the burning crystal ball 
Its starry gates open like god-like jaws

evolving like Paleolithic tadpoles old stone age 
lacking tales to execrate all the obdurate
their time will come when all is far too late
and their karma is to remain to do it all again

fortune’s for the brave
freedom's for the few
we choose It like The Chosen do
to turn our backs on all that human hate

we raise our minds
we raise our eyes
our heart's electric 
sending morse code messages

we begin to watch 
the open skies of Blue
for forgotten arrivals 
seen through moving clouds obscured
