Beyond the Planets

.

Beyond the planets

are those who have seen

.

More of horror and distress

than you are able to imagine –

.

Each year the lightness flickers

from solstice to solstice

.

And we plough on

determined in each our separate furrows

.

Driven by the desire

for completion this time.

.

Does God look on in mercy

call to us from the stars

.

To stop, stand and stare,

read in the beauty of the constellations

.

A destiny that involves

rising to a new life of dreams

.

Beyond the conception

of the toiling world?
