No Stars in the Sky

 video

 living within a red star's embrace
no stars overhead through which to race
no cosmic dreams, no SciFi
always a purple glow in the sky

believing all of which we're aware
is all there is, it's everywhere
there's nowhere else, nothing to see
we were so wrong, ignorantly

twisting ideas to compensate
for any strange celestial fate
like rocks from the sky, meteorites
two moons and polar electrical lights

dancing like fairies in the air
counter-rotating everywhere
shimmering curtains green almost blue
everyone's favourite celestial view

living within a red star's embrace
no stars in the sky, no nighttime to face
learning the lesson 'we all can be wrong'
wherever we live or think we belong...

Driving in the Rain

 Video

 driving in the rain at night
wipers whooshing streak
passing under each streetlight
whooshing wipers squeak

splashing through accumulated
puddles on the road
sky ocean with which I'm elated
to share its liquid load

of water molecules in raindrops
tumbling from the skies
crashing into earth where each stops
becoming as it lies

trickles, streams and rivers rushing
pulled by gravity
always moving, sometimes gushing,
journey to the sea...

driving in the rain with splashing
water everywhere
wind blown gusts, a liquid lashing
in the stormy air

wipers whooshing in the nighttime
brake lights, going slow
driving in the rain's the right time
to travel in the flow...
