Return

Return

Metal blades

cut through the sky

wetting on the tears

caught in the clouds.

The glimmering destination 

signals from the ground, 

and gravity pulls the engines 

toward rest and fuel.

Robert L. Jackson III

States

States

The oceans, land and air, 

have always stirred the storms, 

heating our substance, 

to rise and fall, 

but the continents change slowly, 

and beyond our time.

Yet the celestial motion,

deviates, 

even more slowly, 

so let's keep 

our eyes on the stars, 

feet on the land, 

hands in the water, 

and ears in the wind. 

-Robert L. Jackson III
