Voyager

The Voyager has left the solar system
It has taken our consciousness
with it too
A Commodore 64 running the show
How ironic
We're still collecting those tiny bits of data
today.

What does Voyager know?
What has it experienced?
What does forty years in space give you?
Is it beginning to wonder
or
Is it way past that?

While we're going
far far further
than any human object has ever been
Earth no longer visible

(While we slaughter another human life)

Voyager is in deep being
Without borders and no hope of home
traveling forever
an extension of the human mind
heart and soul.

Could have taken the path to compassion in a family life
- where love and hostility teaches you enlightenment
But I gambled on the Camel ride to the oasis
-surrounded by a hostile environment
Where hermit poets work out their salvation in the weaving of poetry
- and in the silence of solitude and the inward journey.

Little Bear
in the most beautiful way
he was there

for when i silently cried
for when i smiled
for when i had
no words
to say

for when i had
no words
left
in me
and none to
give away

for when
my heart
whispered
it's secrets

and for each
and every word
i could not utter

he was listening

and
in my silence

he heard me
still
Refer to me not as the squall -
for I was the Chickadee bathing
in it's watery toll
In December snow I was the exposure -
of naked skin seeking closure
Alone at the shore in fear of mossy stepping -
stones that led to the popular side of
the River Life & Love
A besieged Castle chess piece facing diagonal attack
A burlap sack filled with lessons of stone across a tired back* ...

beth fwoah dream
closer than this dream
of summer,
closer than your fingers
linking mine,
we melt like
candles,
burn like the night’s
distant stars.
