Skyward LongI long
to disappear
into this beauty
all that surrounds me
to lose myself
in wings in leaves
to be carried away
on a soft summer breeze
I long
to leave
not a trace

Skyward, the Ropehe does not have
size, nor age either,
and makes no sound
no hills up and down
but it goes through virginal campus
as beauty's devil big-head fool!
it really is
a year
screaming
child, or boy
ah, very well invisible
no style
do not know
how
they can live so
watch it
love it
and still wondering it....

SkywardA long-winded breeze
carry a blue plastic bag
toward the sky.
I look
at strength
in sun's heat.
Of the warmest season
of the year....

Skyward BoundI just cannot lie
I reach for the sky,
I am like a falcon
Spreading my wings wide,
Soaring through the clouds
Weaving in and out of verdant trees,
Looking down at the ant like people beneath me
Scurrying about in endless futility,
While I soar high up...

Skyward Lark, Moon, Trees, HollanderIn blue tinged glow of lustrous night,
Hollander watches bird in flight.
In breathless, quiet, shadowy gloom,
Trees are restless, night's abloom!
Hollander, where has gone the sun
In which you had so much fun?
And when evening's come, and shadows fall,
You stand and listen to a bird's call.
Beneath the trees,...

Falling SkywardWhat else is left for me to do
But to look towards the sky
As ground below me tears in two
Right as I learn to fly,
Not on wings or magic cloths
Concerned in fairy tales
But in things that rose aloft
Adjourned in times I failed,
Releasing me...

Light Verse
SkywardSkyward turn my eyes and dream
The surface clouds,
Drifting in the blue,
Dispersing and reforming.
Amorphous by their nature,
The ether of emotions,
Summer white
Or thunder storming.
To you I tilt sequential,
Fractions and equations,
Priming of the heart,
Charging and imploring.
Skyward turn my eyes, and cry
Into the heavens,
My heart of hearts
For you is...

The Skyward ReachThe loss of a parent is something you never get over. Understanding that you lost one of the only people in your lifetime who would die for you wanting little in return is unlocking an event that no one can prepare you for.
Once they take...

Skyward
full orange round moon
circle illuminating view
night darkness
shining light
sphere brightened canopy
lighting earths crust below
stars twinkling bright
diamond heavenly bodies
pulsating harmoniously
sprinkling star dust
in orbital swing
eyes drift skyward

Pillars of Skyward Bloodshed
blood drops
falling skyward
and down again
causing pillars of blood
and dirt of maimed reddened figures
scattered across the land
the bloodshed continues
on sides of good
and of evil
pillars of skyward bloodshed
form.

MeditateLaying on the grass trying to relax,
Looking upwards, at the clouds,
One looks like an angel wings spread out,
Slowly that cloud dissipates,
Now a fish appears and swims away,
As I lay there time passes by,
A tap on the shoulder,
I turn around nobody's there,
Noticing its getting dark,
How long...
