A Sonnet In Space

I dreamed a dream above dispair,

My thoughts went cruising way up there

In outer space.

Once in orbit, they whirled so fast

I felt their movement rushing past,

No longer seeming part of me,

From weight and worry I was free.

No cheering crowd watched their pace,

Nor was there an appointed time or place.

Where raft, ship or even plane

Would save them from the stinging pain

Of reality.

I alone, awaited their descent,

A reunion most diffident.
