WORLDS WITHIN WORLDS
HAIKU, APHORISMS, MUSINGS & AFTER THOUGHTS OF THE ANCIENT SAGE
by gordon coombes

II

Worlds within worlds
planets revolving around
a billion stars-

Each star a brilliant sun
of shimmering liquid gold
streaming spilling
into dark silent empty space-

Each of us holding onto
the reins of wild horses
racing about the sky
pulling our own chariot of fire-

All that we are
all that we say we are
all that we could ever be
all that we once were-

Climbing out of a ditch
out of the gutter
watching a billion stars-

Being touched to the marrow
by this eternal drama
by this nightly performance
by this nightly light-show-

Lifting us out of the gutter
for one single moment
for a glimpse of eternity-

Filling us with hope
leaving us at sea
drifting across the grey Atlantic-

Drifting through space
at the mercy of the Solar Winds
filling our sails
passing countless worlds-

As we leave our little Island
in the sky a distant light
in this dark night-

Brushing up against all these
whirling worlds as we walk
along these tamed streets-



take care,
GORD.
