Constellation of Antoine

  Antoine’s Constellation


Missiles whistled and winds were lashing,
Down corkscrewed the airplane, crashing –
But he lives, smile and laughter flashing
Through the Antoine Constellation…

Little knew he of death or danger:
Full of life, and to age – a stranger,
When the storms and the Fates were raging,
Smiled the poet, both sad and sagely.

Yet he knew that the fox was lonely,
That a friendship was hardly phony,
That a rose was never homely
If you loved it, and love takes honing…

See those stars? – They are laughing, breathing,
They’re childish, dancing, reeling –
Spirits live there, who know of freedom
Lives the pilot, magician, dreamer…



   Dedicated to Antoine de Saint-Exup;ry,
   A true sage, magician and a creator
   of words and worlds…
