Midnight Thoughts

I’m floating
somewhere between yesterday and tomorrow.

I’m free falling
through the cold hydrogen of interstellar space
without a space suit,
an oxygen masks
or a destination.

I’m tumbling
head over heals into the future,
catching random glimpses
of stars and planet,
moons and asteroids,
comets with their icy tails stretched behind them.

"He who hesitates is a damned fool."
Mae West

Morning Thoughts

I’m floating
orbiting a planet teaming with possibilities.

The planet’s star
is casting a bright shadows
across my future.

On the planet below
there is a secret hidden
in the jungles of verdant desire.

Fear crawls into my belly
making a tight knot in my guts,
echoes out of my past
reverberate through my mind.

Future possibilities
and past dreams copulate
creating a new present.

Descending into the atmosphere,
procrastination and hesitation burn
becoming smoke and ashes.

Faith crackles in my ears,
as I fall toward
a sapphire ocean,
rebirth closes the door to yesterday
and rips the curtain from the portal of tomorrow;
I live in the eternal now,
unhaunted by what was or what will be.
