A child looks up to heaven's blue,
...and sees the rising sun,
The old man sees the end of day,
...a life that soon is done.

Both espy celestial city,
...within sky's azure face,
Sculptured clouds of vapored mist,
...belie eternal grace.

Clothed in calm of welkin glory,
...comes forth the new day's dawn,
Journeys Helios, o'er earth's landscape,
...spreading warmth upon.

Beyond the walls of heaven's gate,
...as light of day is cast,
Beyond the realm of world's horizon,
...another life is past.

Mystical Musing Mike
Marvelous myriad muses
make Marge muse melodically
Must mean Mike makes Marge's
midnight musings mostly maddening

Might make morning musing !

Mike beautiful poem,

refering to Jan's signature
"What the caterpillar calls the end ...
The world calls a butterfly
~LaoTzeTao~"

Beyond the walls of heaven's gate,
...as light of day is cast,
Beyond the realm of world's horizon,
...another life is past.

wonderful poem/musing.

Your poetic perception is always inspiring, Mike. This poem holds true to that impeccable form. You are, my friend, a natural.

I truly appreciate all the comments. I was reading a book last night, which putting it mildly, was not an exceptionally interesting
work of literary genius and my mind started to wander...

This was wonderful..I really enjoyed reading it.
I am grasping the meaning as with each life born another passes...am I right?...or way out in left field?
