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.

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.
