Five New Poems, Part Three

STAR TREK I made a trek, to meet the stars To split the galaxy To prove the heart And cure the mind Of curiosity To learn the ways of different folks Who by their will and worth Exceed the bounds of gravity To break the chains Of earth I made a trek, to meet the heart The galaxy inside The great expanse Of flesh and blood And dreams that we abide The monsters that I fear the most Are deep inside of me The selfishness And pettiness That never lets me be The star trek to the mind of man Is worth the price I pay To do my best And fill the quest Of living day by day. THE SIMPLE LIFE The simple life is what I crave To ease my troubled mind To change the way that I behave And put it all behind To lose in me, duplicity For sanctity is nice The real me, authentically Is worth a higher price To plant some flowers in the ground And watch them as they grow To grow some roots, by what I found That sprouted long ago To pick the fruit, that only grows Where grapes are on the vine To fill my glass, that overflows But never taste the wine To live my life, with happiness Without the pain and strife To live it more, by doing less Within a simple life. I hope these poems, are good enough To read beside your bed I do not know them well at all For how they left my head.
