SONGS AND POEMS OF DAY EIGHT TWO

 

 

Song of Mars

Two Moons shine upon those Mountains! 
On those lofty black eternal Mountains! 
And the winds roar down around them 
On the ageless sands of Mars!! 
 
Deep as Hell are all those  CANYONS  !  
Red as blood are all those  CANYONS ! 
But sing to God you desolate CANYONS
Sing out loud for all those Stars! 
 
Loud and golden is the sunset 
Purple passion is the sunset! 
Wild and stirring is the sunset! 
Pink and bleeding is the sky! 
 
Can you see it fellow Earthlings? 
Do you know it fellow Humans? 
Have you courage fellow Creatures 
To scale those Mountains high? 
 
To go upwards, ever upwards 
To new  Worlds  and brave new Lands! 
Will you migrate to new Wonders 
Will you kiss the scarlet sands? 
 
Someday I want to go there! 
Will you do it? Will you go there? 
If I call you will you come there 
To the lands of bleeding sky? 
 
I'll go down into those CANYONS  ! 
I'll climb up upon those Mountains! 
I will shout out loud my praises 
To that ancient God Most High! 
 
I will do it! I will do it! 
When I do it I will wonder! 
I will wander! I will wonder 
Is it real is it real? 
 
On those black eternal Mountains 
On those sands as red as blood! 
In those deep and BROODING CANYONS 
We will know that God is Love!

Star Song  
 

 

Speeding like a silver dove 
Through the velvetness of Space 
Hunting for great brand new Worlds 
Where Man may learn his final place 
 
In the Universe of Stars 
Past the CREVICES of Mars

 Past the Worlds  that he did know 
Past the well known lands below! 
 
Where is Heaven? 
Where is Hell? 
Where are Worlds   where Man may dwell? 
 
Where are Answers to his quests? 
Where are Worlds  where Love exists? 
Where are Worlds  that have no frights? 
Past Eternal Velvet Nights? 
 
What is Man that he may go 
Above his Earth and to and fro? 
Despite the Fallen Angel's rage 
Man has lived another age 
And learned again another thing 
Stars are silent.... 
Yet they sing. 

 

Light in the Darkness  

Wild and whirling Universe 
Bright and beautiful: 
Great Light in the Endless Darkness 
Falling through blackness 
Whirling forever 
Falling, Falling, Falling still, Forever 


 God stands and holds you 
Like a tiny Candle 
Sheltering you with His hands 
From the terrible darkness 
From the storms and the tempest 
From the blackness of the Void: 
From the dreadful NOTHINGNESS 
That exists beyond your LIGHT! 
Oh Universe are there tigers out there? 
Beyond your Fire? 
In the dark? 
Blazing Tigers of Intelligence? 
Spirits of grave evil? 
The Ghosts of Moonless nights? 
The Devils in the Dark 
That haunt our childhood dreams 
Before we knew of Guardian Angels 
And outgrew the age of fear? 
 
Does God drive you off with His Light? 
Carefully, oh so carefully 
Tending your Light? 
Keeping your baby lives safe 
From the dreadful devil's claws?

 

Time  

 

Time upon time 
Age upon age 
The eons pass 
The  Earth goes round and round 
Its flaming Star 
And comes to the place  
Where it was before 
 
The Mountains are smoothed 
Into Valleys 
And the Oceans into Plains. 
Kingdoms rise, and reign, 
And fall, 
To legends, 
Soon forgotten. 
 
And through these ages 
One sits high above the  Earth
Watching it from afar 
Yet perceiving All; 
And the cry of the Sparrows is known to Him 
And the cry of the restless wild Gull 
And the snorting of restless Ponies 
And every splash of Amebas. 
Nothing is lost to His eye 
No sound to His ear, 
And not one scent to His nostrils. 
And the centuries pass as moments for Him 
The zillions pass as days. 
Eons pass without His blinking 
He does not notice the difference 
between them.

 

NOSTALGIA

In those days when we were launching

I was only ten.

I heard the awesome

I ache to go again!

Earth float blue

Above the silver Moon!

I thirst to see the rockets soar

Pushed by their FLAMING PLUME!

My nostalgia's for the Future!

For those good new days on Mars!

I long to know of gentle beings

That live round other stars!

I want to know the fate of Man

and the fate of all Earth's creatures

I want to know if Souls and Love

Can dwell in those with Different Features!

My Nostalgia's for the Future

For those good new days Above!

I want to know if times of war

Give way to times of Love.

I want to know if life will go

I want to know of where we GO

Not where we've simply been!

My nostalgia's for tomorrow

For the stars beyond the Sun

Though we have gone ten thousand years

Our Journey's just begun!

 

LOOKING BACKWARDS

The Great Snows came when Man was slight!

The wild winds stung and Life was hard!

But we learned of clothes and spears and FIRE!!

When the Warm Times came, we'd found the Lord!!!

Then came the Times of the Holocausts!

We ripped First World with the Hells of Wars!

But a few still saw the Vision grow

We learned to journey to the STARS!

When our first SUN died we felt great fright

But we found other Stars give HEAT and LIGHT!

Then the Black Holes came and they cost us dear.

We lost our Worlds, but we're still here!

Now the Universe is night.

The experts say we won't survive!!

For the Stars are cold and they give no light

Poppy Cock!!

There are more ways than one to stay alive!

If it hadn't been for the Snows and the

Nuclear Wars

And the times of Hell with the DYING STARS!

If God hadn't driven us to the brink;

We'd have never learned to think!

******************************************************

Prayer

 

Oh Lord we have learned to wander to the stars

Let us always

Remember to

Wonder AT the stars!
