Short Firmaments Poems

AN ODE TO SLEEP.

Bereft asleep,baby born lights dim
The skies in space;twinkling bright a beam
Firmaments afar settling wide a gleam
Take care to sleep heav'nly realms as mile
Take guard thee guardians. Till the dawn arise
For I'll wake and shine in morn inclined....

On waves of midnight blue –
   We shoved off in the boat –
It mattered not where to –
   Anywhere at a casual knot.

We entered a world of darkness
   None but us could see –
One of two black firmaments
   Distinguished by a cool breeze

And then, cradled by whitecaps –
   We kissed – we were comfortable.
That the hour was so late
   Was inconsequential....

Old age doesn’t exist for all
   Because many claim its presence;
I submit that living goes on
   Through many-hued firmaments.

A shade of love lives here
   And over there, a victory, I deem –
Patience caught them in her lair
   And surprise – she frolics in between

For one might, on some fateful day –
   Pluck a strange flower
And on another, move a rock away
   And something wonderful – uncover....

I am the timelessness of time,
I am the where,was,when,is,or,were!
Before your Galaxy appeared,

Before the sky knew where up went,
I was and I Am!
Before the sea knew where down went,
I was and I Am!
Before light was called and darkness told to disappear,
I was and I Am!
Before the hands of time began to tick,
I was and I Am!
Before i said: "I AM GOD",
I was and I Am...

Urination reigns rains flowing 
Covering the firmaments grasses 
Backing splashing on the oak tree
Nose to the grindstone Kentucky bluegrass
Sniffs out allergens striving to mark a path
Marking at territorial arenas grasp
A leg up Or just a squat
Relinquishing rains
Watch the green grasses 
Now yellow patches 
From yellow rain
Puring down tween a dog's leg
