(1st week March 2020)

A Journey New

Ascend dear star
Brightest of my heart
Claim these curiosities
that were with me from the start

Lay out the pattern clear
that was unmeasured before
Help the traveler's heart to hear
the rhythm of your score

As heavenly bodies above
wrestle in stardust clouds
and fight the pull of love
let us engage each other now

Unspoken in a dream
lit by an age on fire
Open now this quantum stream
and the spirit's true desire

Here awaits the eager
at the outset of a journey new
No beginning can be meager
when the plans are bold and true
