Growing up



Growing up
Chilled back ignored as stretched I lie
Heavens magnet draws me to the planets and I wander through the Stars
Called hello to Jupiter.
                     Good evening Mars
The Constellations welcome me with joy
Excitement. Rode a Shooting Star, I remember
I was just a Boy
Thank you Pole Star for your guiding light
Astral kisses dissolving in the night
           Venus smiles benignly heeded
No words spoken. No words needed
But my secret place, hidden within the magic Plough
Only seen by my eyes.
The Path of Love, opened by an Angels Smile
For eternity. Nothing can defile
Therein a celestial heaven where we wander free as air
Close all Earthly doors.
Spin my cocoon of cloud, cushions of the finest silk enough for two
Silver sand like diamonds.
                                                Sea and sky a matching blue
At last the secret of the Universe. The Story from the start
Why we were given what we call Soul
                                                                     Why we have a Heart
