Poem Artwork

This poem is dedicated to my father, brother, sister, other family members and friends who are out dodging meteors. I am adding my mother and my friend and mentor Fernando Calvo now as they've joined these dear ones on another journey in the heavens.




Tonight the sky is overcast
I couldn't find your star
It was then that I panicked
And I wondered where you were
There are moments in my lifetime
When my passions are layed bare
My emotions run with shadows
And restlessly I dare
To taste the dreams of adventures
In the realm of the unknown
And fly into the heavens
To finally seek a home
Where you are there awaiting me
With arms extended wide
To sit with you and ponder
Should I stay up here and ride?
I could catch the tails of comets
Ride through the Milky Way
Say "Hello" to Orion
Then be on my way
Passed the planet of Venus
On to Jupiter and Mars
Dust the Cosmos with my laughter
Put more twinkle in the stars
I could swing from wings of angels
I would tickle all their feet
Tie their hair up all in tangles
Then gently fall asleep
With the wings of heavens shadows
As my dreams take me to Earth
I would waken with the laughter
Of life and all it's worth
I thank the world for all that's good
As I pray with all my might
I can hear your laughter echo
As it touches me tonight.

They are truly free, no longer trapped by the boundaries of this earthly existence, in a place where joy and beauty and all that is good are certainties without the worry of pain.

Ireland had a near miss.
This is a great cosmic journey, with both laughter and tears.
Bringing life home with a powerful penn.

Lost my father, sister, brother and many friends, also. Timely, this, as I was thinking of my sister today and missing her so much. I often hear her laughter. Thank you, Susan. Wonderful write...
