Here and There

~

an eyes-wide immensity

humble manoeuvring

white shapeless continents 

drifting gracefully peacefully

high across the panorama,

here rush-hour growls

a raucous heartbeat 

of complex misguided humanity

there is blue, 

languorous, serene

here is grey earnest, 

mechanical harsh,

I want to be there, 

I want to a serene 

ghost-like vapour 

breathing gently down

upon the machinations of man

to breathe a whisper

a long exhale to slow 

to pause the pointless vigour
