Meaningless thoughts drift slowly across my mind Surrounded by bright gray and ebony sky. Magnificent desolation envelopes me. No perceived horizon, All is calm, devoid of Air, wind, and rain. I breathe and take in The stark beauty of a pristine Celestial world.

I was an elementary school teacher, with dreaming eyes to the rosy future, Like the emerald, cherry blossom season, arriving later rather than sooner. As a creative teacher, I was so popular, as children were my pearled world, Like the blooming cloud covered expanse, where spicy wind's lately swirled. I looked forward to adventurous hours, like time with no...

Willie was a boy astronaut the first one allowed in outer space Not a commander, but a commander-in-training Every night, he was on another adventure Can he ever just stay home? His daddy asked. No, Mommy said. He has wanderlust. He has to keep moving. Maybe I could go? Daddy suggested. Willie laughed that idea out the door. Daddy, we are all kids. The...

Fighting against the iron grip of gravity, its power over this vessel decreases and we slip through its clutching fingers. Breaking through astronomical barriars into the darkness of space this force of earth no longer lingers. Into an emense and endless galaxies of stars, we pause here and there taking in wisdom and enjoying each blissful atmosphere. Into...

When dawns your own world, when From another's blank horizon Rises your brother's habitation Can it be overlooked then? Stretching with the sympathies Out from coldness of craters Approached are the Maker's Fixed sensibilities....

I ponder after gazing back at the brilliant blaze and flaming embers ever thrusting forward into the unknown abyss of endless space. How wondrous and ominous are the surroundings generating an exuberant feeling of being part of this endless place? Fairing ever deeper into unconquered regions with excitement and anticipation. Discovering the pure evidence of the great...

ASTRONAUT 2021 As certain as I see the world below some things I'd overlooked, within my haste come to my mind, and in it now, I know we can't allow what time remains to waste. What God's become, because we've let it be, would change if only you'd see what I do, spread out below, right here in front of me a...

Astronaut Cat John is crazy he heard through the pipe. He had no idea who was dissing him, but it sounded like a gripe. He’s kind of handsome, another feline purred, she said it sweetly. He would like to know who that was, he hoped it was Miss Sheetly. Miss Sheetly became a member of the crew before they...
