…spaceships on wheels
…this is my now- many were before me and many shall follow- who have and shall, endure their own moments of capture-
but the capturing of this breeze in the season of this day, that graces the side of my face; is mine-
in this spaceship on wheels, unapologetically mine-
and it’s mysterious beyond writing, magical beyond ink, glorious beyond detail-
so we leave this loud noiseless home, chase it all, and beg for the sun to follow- please, please come follow-
as i mask the child from the diseased mind of his unwell mother- as he reaches for me just as i am, with no regret- none at all-
you beautiful mold of God-
and in the spaceship we go- ten one dollar bills for your pizza and your drink, as i smile like we flourish with more; tho Gods wind against us, is-
spaceship on wheels; this spaceship on wheels- i cannot miss a payment and lose your spaceship on wheels-
because away we go; away we go-
listen to the birds sing to you my darling- hear the trains in the distance? let’s fly closer-
spaceship on wheels; our spaceship on wheels- and for the moment guilt frees itself- worry does not recognize me, and the thoughts i seal from even all, become mute- as God forbids them-
oh who dances in the breeze? oh who medicates the wind, to heal as it finds us? the friendless boy who now laughs, the anxious mother who now forgets, and the desolate dreams that make the tears bleed, leave her be-
they do, they do, they do-
so spaceship on wheels; this spaceship on wheels- i cannot miss a payment and lose this spaceship on wheels-
i often wonder if the other passing cars, maybe to the left of me, maybe to the right; is anothers’ spaceship too- without destination- without purpose-
how many are hurting?- where is our compassion- why have we become so self centered? what is one enduring in the homes we pass? and do we pray as we go by,
even sometimes?
how many cars are passing you now? how many are spaceships on wheels? and if so, what are they fleeing from? oh what are they escaping?
father don’t leave us.
