MID-OCTOBER MUSINGS

MID-OCTOBER MUSINGS

One:

On a ledge,

on the edge,

lift and fly high

beyond Half Moon and Mars

and all the stars in Gemini,

Procyon and the Pleiades

not know the nature of the flight

till out of sight,

union, communion,

paradise regained

and maintained

in endless bliss,.

forever of now

Two:

Let’s not call it God;

leave that to all the churches,

this Being of no beginning,

this Entity without end.

And we are pieces of its infinity,

knowing but not knowing why

as we listen to the rain

in the middle of the night.

Three:

Heal and anneal,

mend and blend,

sing farewell

to all the pieces,

and dance a pavane

to wholeness.

Four:

Out of control,

on a roll,

beyond the boundaries,

a star breaks loose,

skips the sky,

and lands

in a neighbor’s galaxy.
