Destiny
“My children will be the works I leave behind.”
Destiny;
A product of environment and desire,
coupled with right timing to seek and acquire.
If it’s your time to take flight,
new tacks and tracks to transpire,
how might one bid aid which you require?
If your next steps are opaque and gray
perhaps it’s best to ponder and pray...
.
To the one Divine
I turn for aid.
Who from the Cross
guide me my trade.
Response to my interpretation of reading parts of ”The World of Michelangelo 1475-1564” by Robert Coughlan, ©️®️1966. As the young artist Michelangelo was somewhat dismissed and discharged from his fathers care as Michelangelo’s pursuit of an Italian marble artistic carving trade was not in his father’s favor. The prayer in this poem is an adaptation of a similar poetic prayer written by Michelangelo in the book reference (in translation).

Descent
“60 seconds.” Aris tightened her grip on the overhead handhold. The troop transport shook like a leaf in a windstorm as it battled through the atmosphere. Dim lights flickered on and off as the ship’s systems were battered by pelting rain and narrowly dodged blasts from laser cannons on the surface of the planet.
