Boat ..... poem

Boat

Jaqi Bluh

My dream boat takes me many places
when the spirit opens the way to the waves
of inspiration

Boat came to mind
mixed with soul
and me

Who am I
within the skin
unseen

Would you want to know me without bones
just a spirit sparkling
with ideas

With dreams that haunt my soul
across the ocean of space
among endless stars

I focus on a grain of sand
and see a universe of beauty
going in deep

Of molecules and atoms 
and subatomic particles
and more

How many grains of sand are there in our wondrous cosmos
how many amazing beaches
on how many planets

Imagine living on a world without a sun
flying through deep space
among the stars

Those worlds exist
flung from their star
to roam in perpetual night

Do people live there
with their dreams
shivering

I hope they have power for light
and a good heater
and laughter

Anything is possible
when we suspend the impossible
and dream

Would you meet me
without skin or bones
truly naked

A sparkling spirit of the imagination
with curiosity for anything
discovered

NOTE ~   We cannot take the body with us when we die, when we fly on as spirit to another life, or find that there is no room left for us in this tiny cosmic home, and find our time has come to be eternal; to finally awaken to who we really are, and be totally real, in the liberty of happiness. A long object flew in from interstellar space in recent times, unlike any object found in the Solar System. Was it a spaceship flying by, using the Sun to accelerate along the way? We cannot know. We could hardly see it. We could only tell that it was large, and it was long, very long. We will forever wonder now, what it was, where it was from, and where was it going to. One day, when we can build fast ships for space, we may catch up with the long rock, and find out it it really was a spaceship, flying among the stars, with living beings a'board. Our journey through life is a bit like that long rock from interstellar space. We fly from life to life, until we find our journey's end. Will it be this next star?
