Receding

POSTED IN contemporary poetry July 23, 2013

 

Receding
 
Traveler between
This world
And that
I am receding
Five times speed of light
Distant planet
In my sight
Crash landed
There is no pain
I am gone
Spirit lives on
 
I am receding
Million times the speed of light
Distant universe
I am light
A child looks at a star
Wonders what and why
Who is the ghost
In the night sky
