painting contest
the child puts a drop of water
on the Mars surface

Muse of Science
scars
on her face
I console
how the craters glorify
the whiteness of  the moon

****    ****    ****
sitting alone
in deep midnight
I harvest
wisdom of consciousness
the part  of the enlightened galaxy

****    ****    ****
in exchange
of my welcome-smile
the aliens
bridge our blue earth
with another milky path

****    ****    ****
the rising urge
of wave after wave…
the moon
whispers  gentle swell
of the passionate desire

****    ****    ****
I return
from the crematorium  
with moist eyes
at the entrance  gate
a robot with the stony face

****    ****    ****
the river sways
the bagful of wilted leaves…
in a wooden boat
recalling Archimedes’ principle
the crowded pilgrims try to readjust

****        ****      ****
cosmic call
for the earth scientists…
space ladder bridging 
conference in Mars town
with the interstellar beings

****        ****      ****
my daughter quizzes
about the wall painting
I revisit
school physics of the falling apple
over Newton sitting under the tree

****        ****      ****
a radiant street
deep in the space
the Milky Way
leads to the glittering art
of the big-bang  ballet

****        ****      ****
the girl reaches
the far off distant planet
the aliens delivered
a parcel of gene box draped
with ribbons of Dolly sheep


****        ****      ****

she baskets
the wilted flowers
while the newborn
unfolds a world of  joy
hidden in the wild garden

enlightened...
the sunshine finds
its way
