Where

Where is my seat among the stars,

the address my heart’s residence

among the sparkle and shimmer?

 

I dip my mind deep in the dark morass

of time’s silent spread in night,

to gaze inward at the space within

and find my point of illumination,

amid the silvery glows in ageless rhyme.

 

For I embrace the moon’s symbolism,

its icon of hope for endless voyages.

A sphere that lights without allowing

any blackness to slay its flare,

which gives me strength to keep searching,

reach so beyond my own barriers,

outward every upward in revelation

upon this journey through my head.

 

Then I stretch my mental arms

that they might touch the sky,

all my essence seeks discover the eon's secrets,

each cloud song and lofty sight,

because I am more than just mortal,

my life has meaing

other than the simple sounds

from any heartbeat’s strum.

 

Now I wrap myself in the expanse

through the cosmic clarity,

feel its warmth call me by its iridescence

so I can hold that twinkle’s tranquility

while I ride the universe in contemplation

as prelude to when I sojourn

on that flight beyond these earthen chains.
