Hubble's space is a place Far removed from earthly tastes Enlarged small won't energise all For what is a constellation, Under magnification?

Human-less Hopes
A man went soul searching After feeling life's longing He assumed his soul abroad On some peak, tied with silver cord Admitting he was bored sick He picked a walking stick ..   ...      ....          ...... After many a walk He found his stick could talk 'You seek your soul' said the stick 'Why don't you throw me in a creek?' Having done so I was surprised Sitting here It's myself that has arrived. There is nothing in all things Unless the soul is participating

Self Seeking
The Clam bedecked with candles Fourteen nights to open her jaw; An unattainable jewel she dangles. High above humanity's greedy maw.

Mother Clam
I decided to lèad my leàd to goalless gold Now I refuse to cònduct by others condùct Before I bowed until I was bowed Now I arm my many axes with blazing axes With this my search for còntent could reach contènt When I come too dangerously close they close themselves off Though some I meet with conflicting conflict We contèst lightheartedly but end in revealing còntest We both crooked to find the crooked To deliberate if know weakness was to be deliberately revealed And desèrt the loser to mental dèsert The challenge over in a minùte mìnute I mòderàte the other to the mòderate This would be the 2nd I nùmber to make me nùmbèr to other's illusions I still can't objèct to the òbject of my desires Eventually I will prodùce my pròduce for all to see If I don't excuse myself for my excuses this is surely possible My recreàtion an attempt at the rècreation of awareness I will wind with the wind until I reach my goal

Listen
The scarab sits atop its collected sphere Wielding its mental sextant It chases the sun And it gives its life direction Man sits atop the same How we yearn for unreachable ideals The gold of perfection Ra, the sun So scarab we aren't much different We spend our lives with eyes fixed on the past Blind to the future We roll our cherished ***** into so many obstacles Purely out of our condition Strike the baring rock and become lost. We climb back up on our ball To find our golden god And continue as if before Our endless journey to find Tum

Khepri
Truly, more ornament than dog You are warmer than a fireplace when I enter a room A beckoning of comfort A cosy delight Time pulls you to the ground as you begin to stretch But as time stretches you You turn into an antique Old Humfry... We wonder if you are still alive at times And with paranoid anticipation We look for your heartbeat As you meet our eyes in reassurance Old Humfry... Now when I visit years past I'm always surprised at how healthy Humfry looks He still had years and years in him it seems. Until one day when Mother told me He has been dead for 2 years She had him stuffed and nobody noticed Old Humfry... A symbol of home You remain forever.

Humfry the dog
The tree watches... As the fire creeping consumes Friends and rivals all The tree watches... As all it knows becomes ash Waving farewell in the wind A leaf ushers the smoke To it's new home in the sky

Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires!
Crystal clear; Cleaned crystal Window Washer; Watching World This skyscraper's stories are his to tell. He climbs the corporate ladder daily. CEO's overlord office view At lunch shared with Washer's chews. His peers are his feathery foes Yet birds make better friends than those, That look right though him...

Circular Perception
The spirits of heaven and earth. I look down... You, fly! Unknown to disgust Revelling in the solidity of your warm ambition "You, fly! Know the Earth and its bounty." I look up with darkness all round Glee in the beauty of a falling star But wait! "You, fly! And your jest of chemical fire." Have taught me a lesson Of far thought beauties within grasp Scholar of sustenance and Archetypal will-o-wisp "Thank you. You, flies!" For showing me All that I can be And all there is to see
