Starship Earth

Dark green moss on a rock

Our civilization beams light

off this blue diamond

Add caption

Floating through time and space

Our whole history a fragmental blip

We are so small

                                                                                                

It is assured

The beautiful blue bubble

 Will burst

It is assured

That every man and woman

Will endure his or her own time

It is assured that nothing is really assured

I don't know how

Or why

Or what

Floating in space

our little blue ball

Smells of fresh rain

Oh the experiences we experience

The lives that are played out

Humans being humans

Whatever that means

Look into the stars

away from city lights

look into the stars

you are smaller than

the smallest cell

You are as beautiful as a snowflake

You are a glowing ember

You are insignificantly significant

Float on mighty star child

Float through time and space

Float on your voyage

Row Row Row

Existential Crises

It can’t be a midlife crises

Expiring at fifty two

I hope I have something to offer

to you

What to present the world?

What value to bring to your life?

What gifts may I wrap?

What is the significance?

The purpose behind the living?

The light in the shadows?

The godhead becoming?

Finding meaning and purpose

A life quest

Dead in the grave

What shall I leave behind?

To be or not to be?

Am I or am I not?

To live or to not?

There are many robots

Is it enough to be a good person

Nice to all that you can be?

Is it enough to live every day to its fullest

To have a worth while experience every minute?

Is it enough to understand?

There truly is no point?

The universe is not personal?

Is god truly dead?

Or are we the aged and decrepit?

Unable to feel

Too fat to swim

To hooked to move

I am a blip

So fast yet infinite

Is there an echo?

Pain and pleasure

Disgust and beauty

Damage and revitalization

I hope I didn’t wound you

Asserting existence

The land of should

Has fallen away

The dragon has been cut

Its scales shed

The camel births a lion

Falling down

Up and sideways

Drowning into

The bright center

Is there a difference between

Destiny and catastrophe?

Is it that individual?

Or is it reflection?

Narcissistic manifestation

I can’t stand hypocrites

I pray to god

I am to deaf to hear an answer

Teach me how

To be like you

Follow every rule

Bursting bubbles in the hall

With no room to hear the fall

Can you help me?

I am not my wear

I am not my body

My body is the temple

Of my essence

If you are to judge me

Judge me by my smile

The brown glair of my being

If I am to judge you

I hate to judge you

I am a hypocrite

Caching Fire

We all have an inner flame

An inner light

With an inner voice

I have lost my flame

The only thing that burns

Is the cold of the extinguished

Soul

My life is rekindling

The fire is slowly bursting

Into a glowing ember

That has the potential

To become a ragging blaze

I am understanding myself

A little better every day

Thanks to the examples

Of those angels

That are not afraid to

Let their flame

Catch fire the souls

Of our immortal being

The lesson is to be yourself always

To not allow the freezing criticisms

Smother your living being

It is your true self

Your inner being

That will catch the world

A flame
