We both knew - the trip was his last.
The shot was given - I rubbed his ear.
The drug took hold - sleep came fast.
His pain now gone - I brushed a tear.

Rolling Into Light

Rock steady the Sun,
Earth’s the rolling one.
With precise axial tilt,
Earth rotates in orbit.
What a gorgeous sight,
As Earth rolls into light.
Dawn embraces the land,
Life sings as nature planned.
When the day grows long,
Dusk trills a last bird’s song.
What a marvelous sight,
As Earth rolls into night.
Rolling under starlit sky,
Mythic pictures above fly.
What a wondrous show,
This quiet crystalline flow.
As Earth rolls towards dawn’s hint,
Light paints Sun’s first glint.
Precious place of life’s birth,
Fabulous Rock the Earth.
