FALLING  OUT

I lay down 
under the night sky
staring into the two hundred billion stars
strewn across its blackness,
 
I

felt 



my






 mind











fall

















into this vastness that created me.



And were it not

for the warp and weave

of space and time

plastering my body against

this dust mote of dust motes,

this earth.....

my home.....
                        
Oh, 

I would have followed

I took this photograph of our Milky Way Galaxy from the top of one of the volcanoes on the Big Island of Hawaii near the cluster of telescopes built there.  They are here at 4500 m as this is the best place for a research telescope next to being in orbit.
Clear clear skies, almost no light pollution and stable air make for skies that take your breath away... particularly at 4500 m. :)

THE UNKNOWING

In the morning of our day  
a mist enshrouds our passage
our vision of time to come is lost in 
in the fog that clouds our minds
  
In the heat of our day we often see too far 
and in seeing can not bear 
the knowing or the being known  
so cast aside 
that which reminds us of 
our failures
looking for those who
will happily 
feed our narcissism

In the dusk of our day 
we are consumed
the long looking back  
on what we lost, 
and still wish for
and so we yearn 
for the mist of the morning 
to ease our pain, 
of our shame
and let us slide silently over the still waters
  towards the horizon of our lives  

In the night of our day 
we wonder at the stars.

Taken somewhere near the Blue Ridge Parkway as looked for a Motel having been soaked by a day of rain on a motorcycle trip.
