Rocket man (2014)

 

I feel lift off coming

I am a rocket ship

Ready to launch

Into the depths of space

The universe yawning

Open at my approach,

A black hole,

A gravity well,

That sucks me in

Completely,

The fabric of Einstein’s

Reality as brilliant

And all encompassing

As a flower made

Of sparks and fire,

Drawing me ever

Forward even as I

Try to withdrawn,

All of it touching

All of me

As I plunge ahead,

My space ship pointed

Always in the direction

I ache to go,

I do not fear

The dark of it,

I feel not being

Allowed to penetrate

To find that joy.
