Mike Hauser Poet Light Verse

Rocket Man

Lost in time and lost in space
Separated from the human race
It gets so hard to breath up here
Orbiting through this atmosphere

I did not truly understand 
What all was involved with Rocket Man

The World below is just a globe
Staring time away out this lone port hole
I miss my family I miss my friends
The normality in which I once lived

But space and science called out my name
Now here I am as Rocket Man

I wonder do they remember me 
Am I the falling star that used to be
Moving out beyond in bounds and leaps
No more now than a distant memory

This new frontier, this no man's land
Never to come down again
This certainty wasn't in my plan
This lonely orbit as Rocket Man

Cool write, Mike. I love that song:) Daniel Turner February 4, 2017 at 10:58 AM Bernie Taupin is a genius and Elton John is iconic! Mike Hauser February 4, 2017 at 10:43 AM Elton John is my all time favorite artist. I'd be lying if I didn't say that tune wasn't an influence! In fact I think the greater influence was his lyricist Bernie Taupin in my writings. He taught me how to step outside of yourself in poetry

Paulette Calasibetta February 4, 2017 at 10:02 AM Mike, you definitely capture the mystery of what living in outer space must feel like. I enjoyed reading this! Mike Hauser February 4, 2017 at 10:44 AM Thank you so much!
