Once I did see jellyfish
Swimming above in the sky
And then a tiger’s stripes became
The image in my eye
Sudden flames of grey hue
Change to lakes of sacred dark blue
As the fires which rise in heavens
Part from their earthly curfew
And the firmament of stars
Turn in pin prick turns
The saddle of the space cowboy
Cradles the knowledge he learns
And from the tentacles of grey grew
The leaf veins of life
The lung like bronchiole tendrils
Breathing in space dust
I stayed out upon the hill
Feeling that familiar chill
When the sun has lost its grip
And the moon’s power is yet to slip
Its hand to take the reins of control
That twilight- dusk
Where do cross the souls
From one side to another
To my left the sad dark forest
Green in all its envy
Yet to the right, chasing the light
The creatures like me
Flee to keep up with the sun
