Vanishing into the Stars- a Haiku
Stories passed along
Vanishing into the stars
As constellations
Life lived yesterday
Vanishing into the stars
Or maybe the Cloud
Memories of you
Vanishing into the stars
But never gone. Yay!
Dust of lost loved ones
Vanishing into the Stars
Now spirits raised high
Stars collect what’s ours
And reflect back the brilliance
For all to admire

Vanishing into the Stars
Beautiful night sky
purples and pinks and blues a lighting
deep, dark, beauty of fireflies flying
quiet, serene with gentle crickets humming
sad, melancholy of even breathing
of mountains and prairies and oceans
dusk welcomes the creatures out
humans slow down and mourn
here I am wishing You
to take me
to sweep me off
And let me be
Vanishing into the Stars!
Vanishing into the Stars
-
Look, look up at the sky, at its velvet-painted inky blackness,
I can see it reflected in your eyes; that stillness, that expanse of mystery
That echoes here in time, amidst this stillness,
Take a breath and come with me on a journey.
Where to, you wonder; even I don’t really know
The paths this trail will take; maybe by granite cliff
Or amidst the grass and wood-path of a sunlit meadow?
Here, take my hand, let us answer this what if,
For what if, in gazing up at the vault held above,
We took a step, falling and vanishing
Into the stars, losing ourselves in flight like a dove;
The places we could go,…
26. Vanishing into the Stars
I came across a meme today
That suggested darkness was a blight…
But if it is you feel that way
How does one appreciate the light?
I read another yesterday
That made it appear all storms our bane…
But if it is what people say
How does one accept the value of rain?
I write this for tomorrow
Offering hope for all we are
Feel safe amongst the light and shadow
Vanishing into the stars.
So the adage that your dreams be high
Shoot for the moon above
Supports belief in you and all that’s good
Share positivity and love.

Vanishing Into the Stars
A crowd gathers ‘round
To watch history
And three men heaven bound
To explore a great mystery
Watching from a distance
A countdown begins
An amazing thing to witness
Flags flying in the winds
The ground rumbles
Fire and smoke burst
Final seconds numbered
Energies dispersed
Lift off
The craft rises
Clearing the tower aloft
Can’t believe our eyes
Three men born of Earth
Their home is ours
Leaving for a great worth
