    Children of the Sun VII

    Spinning and wobbling
    Through long days and nights

    Travel the rutted roads
    Of emerging thought

    Ethereal Love

    Wherever I go,
    It remains so. . .
        At my side
        You walk,

        We talk.

    Knows its full maturity

    Children of the Sun III

    Being third child removed
    From his solar parents
    Mars soon experienced
    A growing family
    With the birth of a child
    That some would call Deimos
    
    He patiently watched
    The surface of his planet
    As it slowly began to form
    The crucial environments
    For the development
    Of a wide variety
    Of plants and animals

    A Prodigal Poet’s Plea

    O Muse, are you here?  I traveled
    Many miles to you.  On bended
    Knees I beg forgiveness.  No more
    Phone calls or letters written.  No
    Distance between us.  Together
    We can quickly cross frozen ground
    And safely return to our home 
    Before darkness leads us astray.

    Far Away

    Far away the children play
    In a world shrouded in innocence.
    Let them play—
    And learn to deal with life.
