Implicit danger then
In transit to New York
Injury to the hull
Impossible to float
Into the depths she sank...

Nights drag on
  hard frozen ground

Life's promise deserted

Amorphously in peace, and poise 
Mindfulness and rapture 
Make yourself serene
In the thought free alertness 
Of reasonability and quietness...

 world travel unleashed,
the world his page to run

Alone in his chair,
both here and then there

fate to rescind
chance in the rearview

Death is a journey
that’s taken alone

Released from the tempus,

The lurid moon-
Dim as an eye, 
squinting, and
waning unnoticed in 
the despair of darkness,
like souls that trudge
through the roadless
vast transit of Sheol.
Guideless wanderers 
lost: no spirit, essence,
nor aim....

all bugles away
Medals awarded
for valor displayed

The soldiers in transit
to homes once so dear
But where is the peace
—when gunfire you hear

Transit or destination
I take anything ahead of me
Delays don’t rile me
No terminus will be final
Over my shoulder are memories
Ahead of me are more dreams
Less sorrys
More stories
For good I leave the keys
One way ticket please...

Dissolution emptiness;
 Translates into rainy life;
Constraining 
Transit passion
Dire embracement
Desolation life constraining
Transients 
Passion Embrace desire

Childhood transits,
Youth transits,
Love transits,
Pain transits,
Corruptor transits,
Hunger transits,
Poverty transits,
Our names transit
Politic transits,
Wealth transits,
Beauty transits,
Certainty transits:

LIFE IS TRANSITORY!...

Eggwagon hauls the future
Within her steamy womb
Caviar of destiny
Fragile and pure

Eggwagon requires
Sidewalks quite smooth
Maternal slope of peace
Genesis in transit

Rocks and bumps of hate
Zygotes in turmoil
Fissures of neglect
The shame of who you are...

Indulged in cherished fantasy in awaken state,
to risk illusion or suffer unrealistic ambition. 
Fanciful actions to turn into reality,
in vain hope, we climb,
we climb to the top of our dream 
And in that moment we transit from a Dream Chaser to a Dream Achiever....

As the local transit bus stopped and unloaded
Seconds after, a powerful bomb exploded.
We knew that terrorists had struck again, 
Causing mistrust and fear, to everyone’s chagrin
Nearby a ten-story apartment house imploded.
