Not with feats
Of technology
But as an enterprise
Of imagination
A hunter seeking
Sustenance
What simpler story
Can there be
Like me, he loved
And sometimes hated
Like me, he laughed
Despaired, felt fated
We roll on through
With singing tires
On bitumen
Both dreaming of
This singing land
Always reaching
Heaven bound
Leave my feet
Back on the ground
Flights of fancy
In the sky
Hug the Earth
And breathe a sigh
I am transported
To other worlds
To other dreams
To other insights
I learn my bounds
Then extend them
Beyond what I’d known
Or even dreamed possible
I remind myself
To love and revere every being
Every living thing as if
Each were a god or bodhisattva
Something
Tantalizingly near
Excruciatingly remote
Intangibly real
Exquisitely beautiful
A mote
In the corner of one eye
Visible only
In the periphery
Invisible looking straight on
