In the deep blue ocean of night.
Drift upon the surface.
Do not sink.
Be the Light!
For the universe is vast and dark,
And primarily the same.
So be the rare…
Light a spark!
Be the sun which radiates bright,
And lights the way through time.
Choose goodness.
Do what’s right.
Be the Light.
Be the Light!

I forget I’m human all the time…
That I have a voice,
And a say,
And although things won’t always go my way,
That I can speak out, and have a choice.
I forget I’m human all the time…
Yet, I’ve decided…
It’s okay.
It’s just a human body anyway;
And we’re more than where we’ve resided.
I forget I’m not human sometimes…
That I am a soul,
And not bone,
And it’s normal to feel lost and alone…
As we journey, mere sparks of a whole…
Universe.

O’ Children of Light, take heed!
The darkness seeks to consume you,
With smiles of self-satisfaction it breeds,
And plants the seeds,
Of its own destruction.
O’ Children of Light, beware!
Bodies are made of heavy earth,
Which drags all men down and into despair;
So be aware,
You are not of the Earth!
O’ Children of Light, watch out!
You are light destined for the stars.
So, in darkness, do not stumble about.
You should not doubt,
Your divine radiance!
O’ Children of Light, Hear! Hear!
Those who pursue your destruction,
Act from carnal bewilderment and fear.
Lo’, Death’s not here!
Seek the Light! Seek the Light!
O’ Children of Light, stand strong!
When in darkness, shine brighter still.
The war between Light and darkness is long.
Shine strong! Shine strong!
For in time Light will win,…
Yes, in the end,…in the end,…
Light will win!

I oft’ dream of three stars united:
A pyramid-cluster,…far away,…
Sparkling and swirling light projected,
In aged-realms which sway,…
My soul to tears.
Such beauty,…it can not be explained,
With words of practical human minds.
The feeling of awe, deeply engrained,…
On the soul, which pines,…
To return home.
Yes, some things, they are not logical,
For we are made of both man and soul.
Man seeks to eat ’til listless and full.
Soul seeks to be whole,…
And connected.
Those galactic stars,…they speak to me,
In a language beyond form or view,
And my soul answers with silent glee.
I am bright and new!
For I am free!
I am free!
I am free!

Look to the stars, Earth Children!
Look to the stars!
The moon is beckoning.
The universe is calling.
Do not feel confined ‘tween Venus and Mars.
Wander, live, and take wing!
Out there, in the vast expanse,…
Out,…beyond Earth,
Are adventures untold,…
Endless worlds undiscovered.
For what is life and humanity worth,
When left unaccomplished?
Unpolished by experience,
And tarnished by pride.
Stunted by triviality,
While subdued by technicality;
And our home, on the Earth,
Where we try and hide,
From our future potentiality.
Look to the stars, Earth Children!
Look to the stars!
Heaven’s gates are open.
The only question is when?
When will we expand and explore the stars?
And draw, with universe to pen,
The masterpiece entitled:
“The Transcendence of Men”.
