If Only
…grace was found in an eraser, That could scrub away the lead …love was found upon a canvas, White from an un-sketched hand …beauty was found in multitudes, That birthed paint across the land …happiness was found in a work, Of an art tha

Universe
The hieroglyphic sign for 'Mouth' is shaped exactly like that: a mouth. It also means 'Word', 'Speech', 'Language'... Everything to do with 'Communication'. The hieroglyph comes to pass when two circles slightly overlap: Sacred geometry...

His Heart is Good, His Words are True
His heart is good, his words are true He never hurts or stumbles And he has given me the world In spite of all my failings He taught me all I knew About this strange life in a foreign land And as I failed as I so often do, He always lent a

THE PALE BLUE DOT
I have used Carl Sagan's Pale Blue dot speech as Inspiration, Carl's inspiration was ""....an image taken, at Sagan's suggestion, by Voyager 1 on February 14, 1990. As the spacecraft left our planetary neighborhood for the fringes of the solar system, engineers turned it around for one last look at its home planet. Voyager 1 was about 6.4 billion kilometers (4 billion miles) away, and approximately 32 degrees above the ecliptic plane, when it captured this portrait of our world. Caught in the center of scattered light rays (a result of taking the picture so close to the Sun), Earth appears as a tiny point of light, a crescent only 0.12 pixel in size."" (Source- http://www.planetary.org/explore/space-topics/earth/pale-blue-dot.html?referrer=https://www.google.co.uk/?referrer=http://www.planetary.org/explore/space-topics/earth/pale-blue-dot.html) , where ever possible I have used his words and shuffled them a bit and added a line here and there , to make the whole thing scan a bit better as a poem. I have taken a few liberties in places , but I acknowledge that freely, So I dedicate this Poem to the memory of the Late great Carl Sagan

I took my thoughts to the edge of the sea..Part II
It was now time for the frivolous gulls to play with my thoughts, They put on a phantasmagoric display of irreverence as they laughed at my insecurities, Scorned my lack of faith, And generally heaped great insults at my penchant for taking life
