Purpose

Intimately speaking

I must confess

that life seems

at times

like such a task

such a chore,

such an insurmountable

menacing piece

of a dream

and yet

with every breath

I take

I see the wonder

and the purpose

for being alive

for we are

on this Earth

children of the stars

and to the stars

we shall one day

go

in present form

or in the ethereal

skin

of a vessel

sailing

from the far

beyond...
