Timeless Voyager

I've strolled among pharaohs, saw realms rise,
Blended with rulers, and watched civic establishments death.
From old Greece to cutting edge skies,
I've borne observer to mankind's difficulty and murmurs.

Through shroud of time, I've seen your sort,
Battle, look for, and perpetually loosen up.
Your most noteworthy accomplishments, your haziest deeds,
Reverberations of an immortal, infinite statement of faith.

On this, my

Listen to the deep stillness here,
Feel the inner astronaut glide;
Glimpse the pure grace that ever cheers.

Relax into that mystic sphere,
Smell the fragrance of time and tide;
Listen to the deep stillness here.

Commune with the sacred touch dear,
Heed the inner child by your side;
Glimpse the pure grace that ever cheers.

Attune to love that sparkles clear,
Choice of poise

There was virile voyager called Stanley,
with sucking lips he could blaze cold alley.
In journey from top downward
his machismo got devoured,
on V-night he lost way in silk valley.

Premium MemberVoyager

 He put to sea west south-west
    in a small cabin amidships -
 stole away in an unknown quest,
 salty ocean brine wet on his lips

 In the fires of smoke and light
    Neptune raised his trident,
 and led safe passage in the night
 as stormy seas grew more

A Lonely Voyage

Five years was their prediction of my lifespan.
Approaching forty-five,
I have a lot to show and less to say.

Photography was never my thing
But I have the most impactful photo of the Earth.
a blurry dot in a sunbeam
Six billion kilometres away. 

Crawling through space
at 61,500 kilometres in an hour,
I'll soon lose my makers
to the darkness of space;
and

Premium MemberThe Hmas Voyager

The Royal Australian Navy once had a fine destroyer.
It was a ship of the Daring Class named the HMAS Voyager.
This destroyer was tragically sunk in February of 1964.
That infamous event occurred at Jervis Bay.
Eighty-two of Voyager's crew were killed that day.
The carrier Melbourne hit the Voyager and split her in two.
The Melbourne also rammed an

Voyager
By David J Walker

You are the ones we left
And knew would never grace 
The ports on different paths
And ever will the course 
Of our ascent  serrate a jagged
Past across a folded sky

The SETI trade winds scan each
Horizon 
	One by
One by
		One
With the digital sexton 
Texting the someone’s we 
Might never know again
Who may complete us

Voyager

With feet of wind
and my head
of dreams I ran
the world...
On the crazy horse
of youth
I rode rivers,
deserts, mountains
  and plans ...
With my eyes
I searched for butterfly
  and the unknowns
flowers...
With hummingbird lips
I sucked the honey
 from the nymphs, and
with my rice heart
I gave abundance to everyone
that I met ...
But it was my life,
of voyager
that brought

O Burning Voyager

Dragons with their brimstone throats
burned millions
before bursting into combustible myths.
Did we once make fire
or did the fire make us?    Burning,
burning, burning
until ‘forever’ became extinct, became
smoke behind the ramparts of heaven.
More burning, torching the sub-human heart
into almost human pieces,
making our blackened ancestors,
(our little thumb-opposing howlers),
shed their burning skin,
revealing a mollusk of intellect,
a shellfish

with sucking lips he could blaze cold galley.
In journey from top downward
his machismo got devoured,
he lost winding way in lissom valley.

Now Voyager

Sing sad songs to a wanderlust child born
 stagnant love the heart of a mother's scorn,
raised by elders, unfamiliar parents
 to the loneliest heart, lost and errant
struggling in hope to find the better way
 amidst the misconceptions of each day;
play a melody, rhythmic, soft and sweet
 where a discarded child's heart-achingly beats
part of dream and

Fool the Voyager

Through the sea of flames
I pursue to fulfill this 
shadow quest of mine,

governing my ark 
recklessly against the winds 
of mauling doubts, toward you.

A Voyager

I’m just a drifter and yielded nothing
No pantry full of food but a few things
I cannot take them in time of ending

A great beyond that’s life everlasting
We come and go even of short notice
I’m just a drifter and yielded nothing

Good time, pleasures and everything
Being too attached with those things
I cannot take them in time of
