I took the astral road, at a substantially slower pace

Had it been at light speed, I would’ve missed the splendor

Of the stars, the moon, the heavens, all the ethereal grace

Tis there I often give myself over, in total surrender

A feeling of floating, amidst the clouds

Far, far away from the raucous crowds

Letting it lull me, into a sense of calm

The still of the water, tis my only balm

Mirrored reflections, a light in the dark

A journey unto myself, on this, I embark

And though my soul continues to seek

I realize, I am still one, among the meek

My heart, skips a beat, it longs ever more

For a way to stay, away from the shore

As I watch the day, up above me, shrink

It is then I realize that the sun also sinks

Beyond the horizon, she whispers goodbye

A wave of my hand, and a tear, from my eye

Awaiting the moment, she returns, ever bright

Lighting the heavens, and chasing the night

May the Force be with you, we heard Obi Wan say

As he sent Luke off, to battle Vader’s troopers

Much to Yoda’s delight, Luke’s lightsaber saved the day

Which lead to the Rebel Alliance, feeling quite super!

Sweet pollination

Each petal expertly played

Plucked without a sting

Selfie by Alyssa…who very nicely let me use it for my poem.

I solemnly swear, she said to me

That I am up to no good, this I can see

She gives me that coy little smile

Ok, she melts my heart for awhile

But I know what’s behind that grin

Thank goodness, she is not a twin

I wouldn’t know what to do

One is enough, imagine two!

And when she has you, in her spell

Her kind of magic, you can’t quell

The truth is, she is not a brat

But that really is her silly hat

Seems the t-shirt matches that

This girl does surely beguile
