through
the ancient door
of the sun god
are
the time travelers
who
possesses
almond-shape eyes
that
witness
the
world of sublime
without suitcases
they surf skies drawing beauty
~tireless travelers~
Traveler A's eyes in his own country stay
~ Traveler B opens his mind and sees
Wherever you may travel
Wherever you may go
May the sun always shine
And gentle breezes blow
Whenever you choose to wander
Be blessed from above
But most importantly of all
Always journey forth in love
When babies are small , their dependent on us all…
To guide and take care of them even when they fall…
O the places you will go..?
Keeping them safe and clean as they move to and fro…
As if they are time traveling into each new day..
Fighting sleep at all costs so time doesn’t get away…
From them sharing in the adventures God created within them…
To a life of their own and a path hopefully with Him…
So,the next time your baby is peacefully sleeping…
Breathe in these moments ‘cause the visions are fleeting
I walk along a busy city street,
watching people leave a loud train
and all around flows a musical beat
and today there is the whisper of autumn rain
people are passing- they go and come
most wear a dark stone carved face
but some give smiles, and some
have tears that in my heart leave a trace
pale youth stroll with hungry eyes
with ideas far-fetched and wild
oh, I want to say- don't listen to lies
so that in this cruel world you are not reviled

FELLOW COSMIC TRAVELERS
We who seek
answers
to universal and
unanswerable
questions
will always fall first
because of imponderables
but we will lead
the human parade
with verve because
I like you
understand
the sacrifice of the quest.
Hello fellow travelers
out there on your own,
just checking in
to let you know
the danger here has grown.
An evil demon monster,
like the one from “Stranger Things”
has whipped a storm of angry rage
and suffering that brings.
Some people seem to like it,
like a virus it has grown.
It’s sites, to have successfully
seen our government overthrown.
Hear me fellow travelers,
when you finally lift your eyes,
you’ll see the ways
they’ve changed our lives
and probably be surprised.
While travelers have carried on
increasingly checked out,
that virus found a place to thrive
and drive what we’re about.
A rising hateful nation
is emerging from their fire,
hard to say how much suffering
will follow in their ire.
You say it’s not your business
but all are soon to see,
the next rights they come calling for
belong to you and me.
Hello fellow travelers,
just stopping by to say,
you might want to pay some attention
to who’s making our laws today.
There’s gonna be hell to pay
if everyone just looks away.
~Jeannie Cronin
Some astral jumpers land inside their flying suits
like skydiving parachutists,
others are thrown naked into places
where thoughts are fig leaves.
Then they shoot off like toothpaste from a tube
dragging bodies behind them as afterthoughts;
bubblegum minds chewing distance and time.
Their infinite star-charts are parochial,
they map the contours of neighborhood blocks,
trace the four corners of circles,
stroll in the park in the radiant dark.
Mind voyeurs all who travel nocturnally
and vicariously,
folks who can’t stay asleep in their own skins.
Some of their exploits may be read
at supermarket checkouts,
or as tales told to the forever grounded.
Those body flyers and nightly roamers
who ask only that the stars weave
more ways for them to go.
Gypsy temptress hips
visions of Dolmite maidens
Begin the Beguine
My heart beats
harder at the thought
of farewell
We are here
just to meet and part in life~
merely sojourners!
When I lie
dead in my coffin
pale and white
motionless,
you all will send me away
with a farewell kiss.
All I wish,
as you bid adieu
is to keep
me fondly
in your kind thoughts now and then
after laid to rest!

Potpourri starship jetting through the black hole
In your eyes sparkle the retina jaded surprise
Dew drops droughts in ranges filled with cactus flowers
Glaciers frost environmental placements fold
Pilgrims travel journeys through intergalactic sunrises
Escaping the colonies complicated municipal towers
~
Jet setting the millionaires are traveling through space
Flying first class in this new space race
