In Flight.
Lines composed at the end of summer 1993.

Somewhere, out of these realms, within the depth of night
Perchance you wander, you may find or catch my passing Soul.
For most times, whilst wretchfully searching for answers in the light,
A world, beyond our existence, shows a new
Fulfilling role.
I found answers to my questions on this flight,
And now my peaceful spirit wanders, in forest and in glade,
By tranquil waters, with rushing deer, within my sight
A forest grove, I find the sun, or trees to
Bring me shade.
A peaceful rushing of my heart, as sights and feelings I behold,
Each night my tired body rests, my spirit travels free among the trees.
To listen to the whispering of ancient stories told,
And catch a brief description of this life
Upon the breeze.
Beyond all comprehension, sometimes my thoughts may be,
A distant recollection, or a fading memory of otherworlds and times,
But mine is not a dream or vision, but a place I long to be.
I sometimes question which is ‘real’ and why not both?
Within my rhymes.
For can you tell me what is ‘real’? By what means can you say?
Is light the only way for eyes to percieve beauty so unreal.
But mine eyes see in darkness as the Goddess lights my way
I would not question further now, lest I may
Lose my Grail.
My restless search will peaceful be, in life I’ll find my dreams.
In dreams I’ll find a beauteous life, a life I long to hold.
And life is life, in light or dark, the same no matter how it seems,
Your doubts will be your failures to accept,
The many stories told.
Perfection? You may seek too long my friend, all life bears a flaw,
And love and faith are all there is, and so much still to learn.
In doubt, you sorrow all your life, for dreams you never saw,
For answer once in truth your heart, In dreams, do you
So Yourn?
