When searching for a philosophy on how to live…how to act and why…my search ends quite abruptly…when I look up at the sky.
The sky understands how life is always moving…how it constantly rearranges…how we must enjoy each moment…before that moment changes.
The sky is open to everyone…she has no boundaries no borderlines at all.
She accepts all entities that float in…she has no need for walls.
The sky embraces her myriad of colors…every color is a friend…
she knows her beauty is created by the way her different colors blend.
The sky rejoices at the differences in her clouds…she would never think to cause one shame…for no matter their size or shape or where they come from…she treats every cloud the same.
The sky understands there will be pain and suffering and heartache…
that lightning, tornadoes and hurricanes will amass…
but she also knows the fiercest storms will eventually come to pass.
The sky knows even in the darkest times…in the ebony of night
The moon, the planets and the stars still offer up their light.
Which is why when searching for a philosophy on how to live…
how to act and why…
I could look to the philosophers…
to books…
to religions…
but I prefer…to look up to the sky.
I rode a star to catch a cloud,
which told me, how the sky was made.
The magic wand that birthed it, sang it into being;
each note, danced it into place.
From one lone star, there arose Gaia’s precious face;
her fertile womb, delivered me, into life’s embrace.
Miraculous are the heavens; the siblings of her kind;
how they swirl and twirl; a square dance, in the never ending sky.
When I gaze upon them; telescoping eye does find,
that these celestial wonders, enjoy watching my own kind.
The faces looking back at me; I feel within my chest;
are no less special than I am; we’re all Gods personal best.
Now you may think that stars, are much different than we folk,
but upon you is the greatest, of all the cosmic jokes.
All of life is energy; the planets are no less.
Like us, they were all thought into being; just made manifest.
The breath of God, is in us all; plant, animal and rock.
There is no such thing as time; no ticking, cosmic clock.
Perception’s an adventure; whatever you perceive;
be sure your mind stays open and miracles, you will see.
Just leap upon a star and ride; it can take you anywhere.
Infinity is wondrous; you’ll forget all your cares.
Come taste of the ambrosia and satisfy your nose,
with scents of sapphire and ruby; your senses will be transposed!
Dark and dangerous like a secret
The evolution of Human beings
Did we come from apes
Or were they Adam and Eve
Dark and Dangerous like a secret
The existence of God
Did He create us or is it just a myth
If yes then which religion to follow
Dark and dangerous like a secret
The promise of heaven
A place of gardens and happiness
With rivers, food and equality
The darkness and vastness of universe
Black holes, wormholes the galaxies, planets
aliens,how big it is, dark an dangerous like a secret
After my death, will I be resurrected
Will I go to heaven or hell
Or will there be darkness
All this, shh, is dark and dangerous like a secret

*****sapiens is that race
with a very high intelligence;
no, it didn't originate in space,
no, aliens never took residence!
If on the farthest planets there is
a new species, it's quite impossible
they will reach us in a thousands of years,
or less; but for now it's simply unthinkable!
Even science can't prove aliens exist,
human imagination is greatly influenced
by fiction writers who tap into their fantasy;
don't' be frightened by this fickle mentality.
No extraterrestrial spaceship ever landed
on our soil and declared it their conquest!
Mankind did not evolve from either fish or monkeys,
it's a false theory that conflicts with the biblical creation;
scientists mar it with the pathetic thought of evolution...
where in the animal kingdom is found a brain like ours?

This cosmos, indisputably is a sheer wonder
We cannot but bow before its grandeur
To what strange terrains it does open its doors
And what secrets are hidden beneath the stars
Man has ever been impelled by an existential curiosity
To probe into its mysteries, struck by its grandiosity
Many theories have evolved about its nature and birth
Scientific truths and assumptions are never in dearth
Some assume that from the merciless emptiness sans light,
From the deep silence of the horrendous night,
Universe emerged with the bang of hammers
On the anvils of eons thundering like firecrackers
There arose abruptly a gas cloud burst of inexorable force
And life emerged from stardust, our energy source.
While this is what the exponents of Big Bang assert,
Life, from a cosmic egg was hatched, some others purport
No doubt, this universe is an infinite stretch of lattice
Woven in the loom through billions of years by gratis
As the wheels turned and as the fires burned
Through cosmic vapor the first atom was churned
Thus, over the eons, life here has flourished
And with man’s wisdom and efforts it got nourished!
Galaxies are scattered in infinite space
And our planet Earth is well balanced in place
After the day’s vigil, when the mighty sun sets
The moon and the stars take over on their night shifts
Multitudinous stars glitter and twinkle, a wondrous sight
As branching chandeliers shedding luminous light
Sure, some extra-terrestrial hand has set the Earth in tune
And everything needed to hold life is benevolently strewn
Just as this universe was born, it would one day die
With all the planets, stars, and starlets of the sky
Who can predict how it is going to end
With a bang or whimper, or is the end impend?
Man’s existential curiosity continues to make him ponder
And he stands totally aghast in endless wonder!

A tapestry of fire, woven through the night,
Each thread a world, a beacon burning bright.
Mercury, swift and nimble, dances close to the sun,
A silvered droplet, forever on the run.
Venus, veiled in mystery, a pearl of jade,
Her surface scorching, secrets yet to be laid.
Earth, our blue marble, a jewel in the void,
With oceans sapphire, where life has been deployed.
Mars, a rusty warrior, his colors fade to red,
A whisper of water, where once rivers flowed and bled.
Jupiter, a king, with swirling storms unseen,
A giant's gaze, forever on the scene.
Saturn, ringed with ice, a crown of diamond light,
His moons a dance, in endless, starlit flight.
Uranus, tipped on his side, a frozen turquoise sphere,
A tilted world, where whispers of ice pierce the ear.
Neptune, a cerulean dream, distant and serene,
His winds a fury, a tempest unseen.
And Pluto, banished king, a dwarf in the deep,
Where darkness reigns, and secrets forever sleep.
Each world a story, a canvas painted bold,
From fiery sun to frozen cold.
A symphony of planets, in the cosmic grand design,
A universe of wonder, where knowledge intertwines.
Patient planets on their wheels revolve
they answer not for the treachery of their tides
But we’re made guilty of our own disasters
and we’ll hang by our own lazy geometry.
Our very own hapless crookedness
is reason enough for our bankruptcy
Oh, we may pretend and invent kinder tales
but in quiet rooms, in privacy, let us confess
that we, ourselves, are the choking strychnine,
and the muscles controlling the bone-white hand
if we all become handsome skeletons
who lack marked grave stones
let’s call it karma.

A song for this
I Remember the Sun by XTC
Invisible Sun by The Police
Weaving tears within Saturn's rings,
she ventured far beyond Earth's realm
past cordoned confines of heart and soul.
Tumbled, as poor Alice, down the rabbit hole.
Drifted, like an Autumn leaf blown from an elm
She soared past distant planets,
on paths lighted by effulgent moons,
traveling on a journey of faith and trust
and all the while she was gathering stardust
before they mingled with sand on Mars' dunes.
From mountain peaks of Jupiter,
she bottled mist, to which she clings
And all these amazing interstellar things
were collected as caressive tokens for him,
the one she had vowed to love more than life.
From far reaches of dark galaxies
she saved treasures from her jaunt.
Magical items she hoped he would want.
Brilliant beacons, slivers of Luna's moonbeams,
silver facets she had captured as the sun dimmed.
She wrapped the gifts she'd offer
in layers of cosmic flecks from a comet.
Tightly trussed with silken threads of time,
knotted with celestial troves she would proffer
to the only one she holds in such fervent affection.
From his heart, she hoped would spill
the love that had waned to a mere trickle.
Then in abundance, once more it would flow
like a wildly churning river, for she loves him still.
To regain their passion, to the heavens she would go.
My federation sent me
New planets I must find
To broaden our horizons
Life of a different kind
Some where in this quadrant
A radar blip prompts me
Warp to the contact
Await and we shall see
Destination reached
As I view this world
My receivers pick up
Signals, two I heard
One from a place called England
One from a place called France
To hear the sound of life
Keeps me entranced
My computers confirm the above
My hand held detected so
To listen on their language
To see what tells me so
A broken mix of two
With a similar strain
Do I detect a difference
Humans going against their grain
One invites the other
The other not so keen
One is rhyming history
Calling the other mean
Whats the reason for this
Computers can you tell?
It seems to be the trait of one
To tell the other to go to hell?
There seems to be more clarity
Signals coming through
It's a man and a woman
I pray they have virtues too
In my travel capsule
I speed down to their lands
Invite them to a meeting
And possibly hold hands
If this does not work
What I am to do
Head back to my spacecraft
Hey guys it's up to you?
" Based on a comment by Ronald Bingham "
one mans sunset
is another mans dawn
every second of the day
lives on and on
dawn is a traveler
traveling from east to west
bringing light to a world
darkness has left
decending and emerging
at the same time
insignificant man
fooled by his eye's
the earth has a shadow
but we call it night
it's fought by the moons
reflected light
but in the darkness
we see the stars
other planets in space
telling where we are
constant rotations
on a scale so large
days and seasons
so near so far
days months and years
before and behind
at birth a mystery
but now eternity in my mind
