Go
Where do you
Want to go tonight?
    The Great Expanse,
Laid out in the distance.

Dream on, and sleep
As a man
  In a spaceship
Slips into space—

Open cavern door,
And he lives, freely.
  In the abyss, gravity exists.
Mask in place.

Where do you want
To go tonight?

Oxygen
Moves about
His suit.

He takes a drive,
Into the night.
Yellow stripes
Trail behind.

Isn’t the
Universe
A mind-blowing
Place?

December nights are
Longer, colder and darker
Stars, please bring me light
My first haiku
Jen Dec 2018
Take it down to the ground,
Take it down to the cattails
And drown your legs
Up to your knees in lake water,
In nature’s loving arms, again.
No longer a kid, and it’s okay.
Take it down, take it down.
Don’t wait, this day was made
For you, me, for us.
So, just take it down, take it down.
Let the stream and polished stones
Set you free...
Until your feet find growing grass.
Take it down, take it down.
It’s all around,
Take it down
To nature's sound.
Imagination knocked and took me here, so I went with it.  Inspired by music by Seattle artist Samuel Orson, a musician that a fellow poet on here mentioned.

I'm afraid
If I’m awake much longer
I wont wake up
Tomorrow

Seldom seen in the stew of Scranton skies
But there it is
a rubber band of fog  
smudged across black distance...
Myriad-multitudes
They are truly there
Each burning ball
gathered beyond my imagination
by the Moon Mother
Who scrubs the faces
of her little stars
