Space Poem by Paul Reed

'And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight 's all a-glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.'
From ‘The Lake Isle Of Innisfree' by William Butler Yeats

I laid down my things
And stood empty-handed in front of the world
Heart afraid to beat,
Rendered my soul to the orbits and skies and comets
So that my feet made no impression on the earth
And I drifted away into space.
