Somewhere Ahead

as i sit on the floor and bow my head
i wonder why my path has led me here
for which purpose must i be rid of fear
that lies in store for me somewhere ahead

no way could i the turns have all foreseen
nor prayed for all of life's given blessings
for the angels would not reveal their wings
until after the time they could be seen

is it a door i hear, a voice, a pace
or only an echo, a whim, a wraith
a breeze, a thought, a threat without a face

be still my beating heart, oh do not race

Ascent

now that the truth is out
and edges the windup
say did you really doubt
of where you would end up

just right there where you are
all alone in the night
feeling more fraud than star
and really not that bright

not completely grownup
more bewildered than fine
but still the wait is up
time to come forth and shine

seems you blew your thirties
in healing from your teens
in bending to worries
and in blaming your genes

cloistered in priory
yet life was not tranquil
your want was fiery
unending test of will

Starscaping

was it not all written
in the divine memoirs
on the nightly heaven
as a pattern of stars

that the worst could happen
at the perfect hour
to rescue the fallen
from haughtiness dour

so that they could in turn
save from the bonfire
their fellow men who burn
in confusion dire

was it not all written
well ahead of the time
in words aptly chosen
metered and set to rhyme

that there's no simple way
to rekindle nature
but take what from the day
provides shallow pleasure

so that there's no option
but to renew the de
