Endless Flight

Shervin and Ashlynn 

ENDLESS FLIGHT

Life goes on

So they say

As we march

Each momentous day

As my heart opens

To the world at large

It grows colder

As I grow older

To the thoughts of self

And vistas open

Before my eyes

Of the manifold souls

That do play their roles

And like snowflakes

No two alike

Each bearing a beauty

Like a precious gem

Upon mankind’s

Glowing diadem

As I walk

Upon life's path

No longer knowing

From where, my source of growing

Nor is it clear

Where I am going

I tread alone

Though in each person I meet

I find my home

No longer feeling

So alone

Though to outwards eyes

There is no one near

Or anyone

That would hold me dear

I am that moth

That flies at night

Striving through service

To reach the light

Though I know

It will never be

I do take great delight

In this endless flight

With every atom,

Of my being

I strive to give

And in this have meaning

No attention, do I seek

Nor recognition my desire

For I expend my soul

For a power much higher

I hope, with my last breath

That I will remain true

And upon my death

It can be said

That I remained true

And that in His glorious light

I grew

The world spins around.  I have spent much time in the past few weeks with my children.  I Picked up Ashlynn for the first time on my own and took her to see her father.  Life is full of joys should we choose to see them.  We focus so much as a society, family, friends on the disasters that unfold before us and in doing so forget the myriad events of growth and progress and profound joy that surrounds us as well.  Replace a negative thought with one that is positive.  Spread the positive energy, it is as contagious as the negative.
