Reach for the heavens
Beyond sky’s meagre limit
Stay grounded to Earth

Reach for the Sky
I reach for the sky
Its light
Its heat
Bathe in the glory
Of nature’s bounty
Alive to the moment
A Day at the Beach
The air
Briny scent of death
The water
Still, thick with salt
The sand
Crusted, brittle, shards sharp underfoot
But the skies
Azure brushed with cirrus wash
And the sun
A hot glitter off the ripples
A beach day
Nonetheless
Comet From the Vanishing
Dusky desert sky
Offers not
A single star
So look ahead
To where the road
Is vanishing
A comet glows
Slow to grow
But soon enough
Comes streaking by
Whereupon
The night sky falls
So stars may
Come alive
Sea to Sky
In the valley
An empty basin
But for lingering salt
Where once a lake
In the sky
A saltless sea
Atmospheric bounty
Held aloft by the winds
Urban Starlight
The earliest stars
Twinkle under a brazen moon
Keeping the sky
All to itself
Invisible Wind
An invisible wind
But for the snow
Dragged over the peaks
A roiling plume
Like my mind
As I’m buffeted
Not so steadfast
As the rocky peaks
Sphere of Influence
Beyond my flesh
Sense the world
And its beings
Not by touch
Nor sight
Nor sound
Not by smell
Like a sphere of presence
A sphere of influence
Because others
Feel me, this way
And I feel them
Like I know them
Big
Where the sky is big
And the land is bigger
I love being
In a space bigger than I
Where I wade out into expanse
