sailing over broken glass
without a compass

I’m just a drifter and yielded nothing
No pantry full of food but a few things
I cannot take them in time of ending

A great beyond that’s life everlasting
We come and go even of short notice
I’m just a drifter and yielded nothing

Good time, pleasures and everything
Being too...

The Voyager

From this mundane world I'd sail away
To become a voyager, eager to travel.
My body would follow my heart away,
Seeking riddles I've yet to unravel.

With canvas unfurled, I'd launch my scheme
To navigate waters of an unknown sea.
On a vessel built of my romantic dreams,
I'd start...

I am but an ordinary woman resting in my easy chair after a long day of work.
However I am about to transform myself into a great explorer. 
I travel through the many realms of space and time all from the safety of home.
My journeys cost...

In my dream I lived on the edge of the future
Untangling the schemes and webs of the past
I sought out the leaders of nations that reigned
with havoc, division, hatred and blame
 
I gathered the cannons, and missles that blast
The bullets, the hand grenades, the rifles...

 He put to sea west south-west
    in a small cabin amidships -
 stole away in an unknown quest,
 salty ocean brine wet on his lips

 In the fires of smoke and light
    Neptune raised his trident,
 and led...

what news o' wandering voyager-
do ye bring this earthly home
what knowledge new uncovered
amid the glinting stars alone

what ancient lore yet unexplored
in fields of soaring stone
what secrets fair lie in thy care
that to man remains unknown

and what of Jove and all his kin
so distant and forlorn
are...

My youth was like a treasure map
in finest detail drawn,
experiences marker buoys,
of perils would they warn.
Islands of opportunity
places I dreamt of most
all littered with ambition
scattered flotsam on the coast.
Routes were laid and lines were drawn
all set in black and white,
the course into my future set

Sing sad songs to a wanderlust child born
 stagnant love the heart of a mother's scorn,
raised by elders, unfamiliar parents
 to the loneliest heart, lost and errant
struggling in hope to find the better way
 amidst the misconceptions of each day;
play a melody, rhythmic, soft and...

So feather light is my soul today
That one kind breath of a word from you 
Sends me flurrying high with the breeze,
Carrying, extolling Creation's secret wisdom,
As the golden dandelion
Entrusts her children to the billowing,
Willow-swaying
Zephyrs.

I yield to the wonder of the warm wind’s caress,
My love pirouetting...

Through the sea of flames
I pursue to fulfill this 
shadow quest of mine,

governing my ark 
recklessly against the winds 
of mauling doubts, toward you....

With a spark to get the goal,
I set myself ablaze.

Discoverers are rovers,
Misread as directionless.

Trendsetters are drifters,
Misinterpreted as irresolute.

Innovators are venturers,
Misconstrued as frivolous .

What a falsified perception about me,
Of being an aimless wanderer,
Like a toy car striking wall and moving wayward.

I am on my way to...

Five years was their prediction of my lifespan.
Approaching forty-five,
I have a lot to show and less to say.

Photography was never my thing
But I have the most impactful photo of the Earth.
a blurry dot in a sunbeam
Six billion kilometres away. 

Crawling through space
at 61,500 kilometres in...
