Spin Sideways Toward Sunrise poem


The poem below is has been incubating in me for some weeks now. You might say this poem is a follow-up to Ode to the Travelling Soul and A Flash of Newfound Zen.

Sol over Silk Ocean

— — — — — — —

Yes, I’ve been to farther skies
Farther skies beyond your eyes
Where birds rush by at the speed of light
Where answers follow all the whys

Oh, I have been on other worlds
Spinning ever-different orbit-curls
Making always-changing whirly-whirls
As this vast galactic sea unfurls

Yet still more worlds are beyond my eyes
Still more adventures beyond those skies
So I say to you, embrace your prize
The Horizon: there you keep your eyes

And keep spinnin’ sideways toward Sunrise.
