Star Children

1.
I left on a voyage to the Sun
in an effort to meet my Creator.
She could barely keep still,
my odyssey long overdue,
Yet she never once thought of complaining.

2.
If Earth were the size of a tennis ball
our Sun would be
seven football fields away.
Why would a thing so remote
bother with greening the grass
on which we lay?

3.
All you have to do is slide.
Let your grip go; forget the ego.
Understand your everything is nothing at all,
and allow yourself to melt in pure light.

4.
Police lights dance at accident scenes,
this is life.
Fat tears slide into beer bottles,
this is life.
Spray-paint Jesus blesses the building wall,
this is life.
It’s understanding what cherishes you
and what is then cherished.
