Best Yonder Poems

is it where light escapes through
    a distant window

or well beyond to heaven's door

a space so vast...it has no end
         beyond the wild and blue
and perhaps more

a destination with unspecific goals

I don't know -...

Sure this is familiar, “I am one who loved not wisely but too well”
At times feel like Shakespeare, you make my lower regions swell
“What light through yonder
Window breaks” I ponder
Methinks been into the sauce which is not totally nouvelle...

Every time I pass an airport, I wonder where you are,
Looking up in the sky, is that you gliding by the star.
Tall, dark, angular jaw, handsome, the perfect mate,
Had to be the luckiest girl when you asked me on a date.

You were everything I wanted,...

Of a creature just like me

I have taken my final arrow,
My race has now been run
I’ll depart from here and go in peace
Into yonder setting sun

I will climb aboard the ship of death 
And cross the chilling tide
I will go to yonder setting sun
As on this ship I will ride

What lies beyond?
Far over yonder,
What? You wonder,
And you ponder.

Is it lush like dreams?
A land esteemed?
Or arid and bleak,
Lacking even a creek?

Provisions you gather,
Prepare to wander,
Onwards you saunter,
Go forth and discover!

Partly heaven, partly hell, before our very eyes,

joy doesn't last, freedom's not forever, beauty dies;

Up yonder
mom is laughing there is no cotton to pick
for once she has enough food to eat
up yonder

up yonder
grandpa strums his secondhand banjo
mom taps her toes and sings 'red river valley'
up yonder

up yonder
the sweat from the Oklahoma heat is a memory
but her worn out calico...

earthy tones

calm me down

bring me down to ground of love

brown, olive, grey

bring me down 

take me to blue yonder

take me to blue yonder

soothe my soul now and forever....

Most cherished of thoughts, ideas abloom, 
spreading, expanding
Overcoming harsh crushing repression, 
breaking loose into a fluffy
sacred cloud bound emancipation 
Liberation! My spirit takes flight, light, 
mellow, blithe and callow 
No longer crushed prostrate 
'neath the crushing tyranny of the basis gossip 
I inhale an atmosphere...
