flying off a push bike
little girl pink skirt
landed in the grass
helmet on the head
bewildered look
ended that fall
straight ahead her dad
who teased the act
by stretching his arms
hight into the sky
as the wheels rolled
down the road
the girl learned quickly
dads cannot be trusted
with advice on flying
without crash landing
inevitably
recording of the above poem read by the author
In The Space Of Time
Nose in a hole
Peeking into future
Gathering strength
Stepping up a ladder
Through the window
Of opportunity
Up towards the sky
Full of flying balloons
At the edge of reality
Oxygen poor
Flying into space
Breathing restricted
A flight to new heights
Greatness on the wings
Stars of possibilities
Expanding into space
Dove of peace
On its feathered back
Brings a message
In a glass vial
On a parchment paper
Words that read:
“Be still and know I am you”
Then the sound of an alarm.
