Space far away far
...in Pandora’s jar... a flower song of love...
Space far away far
Far
yet far
in a far away space
where light
has not seen
the dark
There i sit
blind as a bat
waiting
for a spark
from Prometheus
my return to a rock
that is planet earth
he had assured me
many supernovas ago
Earthling I was
when I heard he’d
deceived the god
of all gods
stole the fire
from Zeus
Zeus’s raging wrath
and his evil gifts
physical emotional
despair on earth
in Pandora’s jar
I escaped
Flew with the cosmic winds
to galactic sequin stars
through lightyears
of black vast distances
across the immense
space rock debris
jets of shooting meteors
darken even more the dark
Clusters of universes
space jewels like earth’s
evening rush to home
against vast star fields
of glittering golden hue
interspersed with blotches
of exploding dark matter
bubbling like the craters
a slow simmering stew
in the kitchen bowels
of monster gas and
terrestrial volcanoes
awakened seemed
from lightyears of dormancy
from lullaby songs of the stars...
of the orbiting cosmic birds
Sat here alas
in the far far yet
far corner darkness
a black void of space
light has not been
listening to the euphony
of the supreme being’s
creation
waiting for the spark
from the fire thief
a thing inside pandora’s jar–
left singularly in the corner
a good thing among
all the evil ones
that had poisoned a paradise
a thing with a soul of kindness
a passion for empathy
with wings of compassion
that can migrate
scatter light and love
to all the universes of space
eternal
a hope-esperanza
a flower song of love
a spring eternal
an autumn leaf of love
a wish of seeing you
sitting across from me
in a space not known
to anyone
not known to the gods
to the whole vastness
of cosmos far yet far away
a space known only
to the two of us...
fly back home
to a time in
paradise earth
Lay down
on the sun flower fields of gold
we know all along
since first we met
naked souls we were..,
braided once more
this time for eternity
into this far
yet far corner of space
a space far far away
in the universe a paradise
only known to us...
our destiny we call home
...we fly back
