The Spacemen
I took a ride in outer space
and left the world behind.
The spacemen came to get me
to leave the earth a time.
They ushered me to step inside
the waiting space machine,
round and flattened out on top
and a deep moss green.
They told me to sit up in front
where they had controls
and I sat in the middle
and one on each side so.
They seemed very happy
and tho were rather small
had the biggest smiles,
excited over all.
Why they were excited
I really didn’t know
but they were most happy
in smiles and gestures so.
We took off right away
and rose above the land.
Eagerly they answered me
before they thought I’d ask.
I felt at home with them
for they were in control
and very, very happy
tho why I didn’t know.
As we flew amidst the air
it was clear to see,
a wide and rounded window
just in front of me.
When we were a distance out
were stopped by the patrols
to see if everything alright
and onward we could go.
Brilliant, swift their movements,
and instantly decide
if we go ahead in space
and everything alright.
Each one had a section
that they did patrol,
farther, farther out in space
and were the sole control.
When we were a long way out
and time did hold no more
we traveled very easily,
gliding o’er and o’er.
Finally we were stopped again
by the next patrols
who seemed excited, happy
and myself well know.
They showed space strips of other lands
somewhere out in space
to se if I would like them
or live there for a change.
They were lands most primitive
of animals and men
scarce developed as we know
but how they were back when.
They said that once I lived there
tho they knew that now
I wouldn’t like to be there,
forgotten anyhow.
They had the clearest memory
of everything in space
and knew just how it was,
development and age.
They were so joyed
I came to know
for I came from space
a longtime ago
and was brought to the earth
in its earliest days
to live on the land
from far out in space.
They knew me from my infancy
tho I’d forgotten them
and from the space strips I had lived
so primitive as then.
For certainly I’d forgotten all
the past and that life then
and even not remember
these men who were my friends.
I couldn’t live there any place
and so we turned around,
happy to re-find my friends
and my own life re-found.
They said we could go up again
and travel time to time.
They would come and take me
and happiness we’d find.

In the Snow
As I was walking in the Arctic
suddenly appeared
a crown-like object in the snow
large and very near.
It was gleaming, full of light
and from the metal too
a pale tone that yet was bright
and filled it thru and thru.
Everything was bright
and inside was a glow
not of anything on earth
or anything we know.
It was full of power
as easily could tell
and I kept my distance
tho looking at it well.
It only came from God
for some purpose there
to show us heightened soul
and make us more aware.
For infrequent travelers
displaying in the snow
an object of the rarest kind
enlightening to the soul.
Tho I could not understand
I knew it did exist
and how far we were on earth
from understanding it.
A Glimpse of Heaven
I looked at heaven one time
and all I saw in there
was computer chips
floating in the air.
They pyramided upward
from the earth below
and this remain of heaven
was all we’d ever know.
