Short Piloting Poems

There once was a wealthy tycoon
Who loved piloting his balloon
In Albuquerque
He rammed a turkey
And landed a wee bit too soon...

the art of argument
piloting nimble persuasion
across complicit anarchy
stoic facts and sly lies
sparring in dueling sentences

Its only and me alone,
Piloting the ship called hard-ship.
No crew, no stowaway, it’s just me.
Can it get any easier; navigating the waters, the straits and sea?
I am in the blink of giving up, my heart heavy than an anchor.
I have no control, my rudder of life has malfunctioned.
The sea has robbed me the love of my life and my beacon of hope.
Dear LORD restore the meaning of life....

Sometimes get stuck on a solo mission 
As the only ticketed passenger in sight 
But alternative routes are available 
We just need to book our return flight 

Begins by checking in with ourselves 
To take inventory of our baggage 
Choice in claiming what we keep
Option to offload damaged luggage

Purposely piloting our own plane now
Pulling levers to navigate any weather
Time to maneuver back into formation 
Since life is better when flying together...

In casting's courage, pull faith in,
and carry me to piloting.
Nor cast away my love for him,
as love casts time to merit vim.

And cast not extract from the wind,
that only blows to cherish whim.
And cast away my thought's chagrin,
that I am peril, as to win.

But casting, as to lots, cast sin
 -away, as perseverance' spin
does cast its entry to begin,
I cast my faith, in him again.

As children voice their casting's kin,
God cast my spirit - to serving!...

OLD MAN THUSE

Was Methuselah an ancient astronaut?
Did he live nine hundred years?
Yes to both say a few enlightened seers

Did he visit Earth in a rocket ship?
Did he wear a space suit?
Possibly    and used a laser gun to boot

Did Ezekiel really see a wheel way up in the middle of the air?
Was old Methuselah piloting that space ship?
Had he taken an impossibly long trip?

Truth is    no one really knows
Witnesses     though many    are all dead
Belief must be taken on faith    enough said...
