“The pendulum swings”

The pendulum swings
Life to death to life to death
Over and over

Until one becomes the stillness
At the center of the wheel

Children of the Sun VI

Thinking inhabitants

To begin the journey
Countless generations

Had previously taken

A Prodigal Poet’s Plea

O Muse, are you here?  I traveled
Many miles to you.  On bended
Knees I beg forgiveness.  No more

We can quickly cross frozen ground
And safely return to our home 
Before darkness leads us astray.

In the humid orbit
Older brother Mars
Previously called home

“Poetry is flowing today”
```
Poetry is flowing today;
Thoughts of John Keats
Not so far away—
Neither in his verse
Nor of his time,
But writing only to release
Others so they may find
A smile on their lips
And no fear in the mind.
