Encouraging Heavens

Vastness of oceans deep

Swimming with endless wonders

Encouraging what world should keep

Heavens answer with thunder

 

Vastness of universe

Swimming with infinite stars

Encouraging nature’s free verse

Heavens address from afar

 

Vastness of instinct flows

Swimming to every shoreline

Encouraging children, let’s grow

Heavens praise learning’s outline

 

Vastness of human mind

Swimming toward tomorrow

Encouraging love, always kind

Heavens remove all sorrow

 

Vastness of creation

Swimming with unending light

Encouraging every nation

Heavens transform man’s foresight

Writing poetry allows the creator to take a theme and journey into the depth of its wonders.

May I be the tiniest nail in the house of the universe, tiny but useful.

To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.

Mary Oliver (1935-2019) was a best-selling American poet, who received many honors for her work.  Her love of nature can be found in much of her writing, and it resulted in honors from the National Book Award in 1992 and Pulitzer Prize in 1984.

Fascination Calls

Eyes looking skyward

Symphony’s rhythm

Galaxy sparkles

Night’s algorithm

 

Trying to focus

Heavens lighting up

Fascination calls

Universe close-up

 

Each night different

Constellations speak

Billions of voices

Infinite mystique

 

Chasing one starship

Courageous and bold

Man’s final frontier

Destiny unfolds

 

Distant cosmos soars

Beyond any star

Hyperspace journey

Dreams traveling far

 

Beyond today’s world

Young boy’s mind takes flight

Ancient comets glow

Rivers filled with light

A young lad dreams of space travel as he enters grade school in the early 1960s.  Images of astronauts and space capsules begin an adventure.  Building models of the Apollo spacecraft tags along with “Star Trek” and more.  As a mature adult, the journey continues.
