I traveled to the edge of space
To find eternity
What I found was an empty place
That just went on forever
...

I have No beginning I have no end
Some say I'm straight some say I bend
I am your enemy, I am your friend.
I am a mystery.
...

Are we alone and destined to be
The only souls in the galaxy
What cruel joke has so decreed
Our destiny to breed and breed
...

Songs to sing

Life has many songs to sing
Winter summer fall and spring
...

----
I want to see your face in every kind of light
...

This Pale blue orb that we call earth
Spinning since it's ancient birth
Hangs Silently in time and space
Suspended in an endless chase
...

Long ago in distant lands
Borne from sun drenched desert sands
You came to be what you've become
Through fearsome belief in your nostrum
...

Poets write of death and love
Of hell below and heaven above
Nothing escapes the poets pen
Not robin, sparrow, hawk nor wren.
...

There were many entrants in the race
You managed to finish in first place
You couldn't think, you could only swim
What mysterious hand helped you to win
...

On the edge of time and space
I searched to see a godly face
Only silence echoed back to me
In that empty silence I began to see
...

What do I owe my fellow man
Of equal skill and mind
Friendly support an upward hand
A word that's soft and kind
...

You've often heard
In early spring
The bird is on the wing
But that's absurd
...

Life 2

I was not
I was
...

To wake up in the morning
to a brand new day
To look around and see
that every things OK
...

A different place with different eyes
With greener grass and bluer skies.
The eyes that looked on yesterday
Saw so much less in every way
...

We struggle from the dark to reach the light.

We were warm and safe and now we feel the cold.
...

...

Children are laughter uncontrolled.
A joy to love, to kiss and hold
A boundless shape of energy
A treasure so short a time to be
...

I've often wondered why we're here
And as I aged it all came clear
The why of my existence is a simple theme
...

I wish:

I wish I was more sensitive to children.
