Lighter computers and lighter sensors would let you have more function in a given weight, which is very important if you are launching things into space, and you have to pay by the pound to put things there.

Coming Back To The Corner Where I Just Sat A Minute Ago
without much thought
i come back to that corner where i just sat
a minute ago
i am not looking for anything
i know i have not forgotten anything like a pen
or a lighter or a piece of paper
for in truth i do not bring these kind of stuff anymore
a pen in my pocket cannot be
i don't have a pocket
a piece of paper to write some notes of things that i easily forget
like things to do this morning
or a meeting tonight
or a date with someone else
for i do not write those things which are so important to me
because i do not really forget anything so important
what more for a lighter...
in truth, i ceased to be an arsonist
of love..
i get burned, i do not burn anyone.

The Fury Of Sunrises
Darkness
as black as your eyelid,
poketricks of stars,
the yellow mouth,
the smell of a stranger,
dawn coming up,
dark blue,
no stars,
the smell of a love,
warmer now
as authentic as soap,
wave after wave
of lightness
and the birds in their chains
going mad with throat noises,
the birds in their tracks
yelling into their cheeks like clowns,
lighter, lighter,
the stars gone,
the trees appearing in their green hoods,
the house appearing across the way,
the road and its sad macadam,
the rock walls losing their cotton,
lighter, lighter,
letting the dog out and seeing
fog lift by her legs,
a gauze dance,
lighter, lighter,
yellow, blue at the tops of trees,
more God, more God everywhere,
lighter, lighter,
more world everywhere,
sheets bent back for people,
the strange heads of love
and breakfast,
that sacrament,
lighter, yellower,
like the yolk of eggs,
the flies gathering at the windowpane,
the dog inside whining for good
and the day commencing,
not to die, not to die,
as in the last day breaking,
a final day digesting itself,
lighter, lighter,
the endless colors,
the same old trees stepping toward me,
the rock unpacking its crevices,
breakfast like a dream
and the whole day to live through,
steadfast, deep, interior.
After the death,
after the black of black,
the lightness, -
not to die, not to die -
that God begot.

What is lighter than a feather? Dust. What lighter than dust? Wind. What lighter than the wind? A harlot. What lighter than a harlot? Nothing.
What is lighter than a feather? The wind. Lighter than the wind? The spirit. Lighter than the spirit? The woman. Lighter than the woman? Nothing at all.
On to the lighter side of life
Time for the lighter side of life
Like standing on a garden seeing flowers bloom
In a constant rain
Looking at
Red petals of a china rose,
Seeing a yellow butterfly
So lightly floating in air, fluttering
A very light sight
You seldom see, you have been too
Contained inside
The theoretical workings of your mind,
You are touching leaves
Of a maiden’s hair, it feels so light
Some morning dews like pearls still
Attached to a white rose
You touch it with your fingers,
It feels so light, you take some deep breaths
And some sighs, you stretch your body,
Touching some dancing ladies
In full array in bloom in
Sunshine, you touch sunlight
It feels so light, so light you feel like
You are levitating to all these now
You miss these lighter things,
Your head is heavy with a lot of nonsense things,
Your neck pains, your heart pains,
Perhaps it is time to breathe,
now embrace these lighter things.

New Life
just turn the conceptual firm to some degrees(we are cultivating our dreams, aren't we?)
a light's shadow reflecting the light
lighter, lighter and lighter into the world of peace
on the coin of destiny
heads are still heads
and
tails are still tails
never say good bye when you
are building your new life
Start The Fire
C'mon baby get the lighter
We're gonna start the fire
The army of words is in me
Silent the soldier weeps
Lying here back to back
Waiting for you to be react
Sometimes all I need is a good push
Roll over and whisper some goodness
Go on baby you be the hero
Now can we go back to zero
[Chorus:]
Go on and get the lighter
We're gonna need some fire
Let's get a little higher
The battlefield is tired
And why all that?
Go on baby and get the lighter
We're gonna start the fire
Just come here and cuddle up
I feel a little rough
I missed you in my sleep
Are you still mad at me?
The moon must have mended my bad mood
Come kiss me the way you're meant to
Last night I was just playing
Let's put it all away and
[Repeat chorus]
Go on baby and get the lighter
We're gonna start the fire
Go on baby and get the lighter
We're gonna start the fire

A Haven....
being is so light
lighter than burnt leaf
lifting itself
to the shoulder of air
then having felt
that gift of flying
it accepts the moment
of having to settle
back to earth
as another crafted
word of art
my being is so light
i could not think of something
lighter than air
perhaps this soul
that is so intimately
entwined
like an invisible vine
inside my wooden
body?
i feel this dropping
unto an abyss
that seems to be
a rising higher
than the sea
the sky
the limitless space
between you
and
i.

Lighter (Fun Poem 128)
I am heading home tomorrow
a little lighter than when I came.
I had a candy yesterday
and as I bit into it
one of my teeth cracked.
Now I am going back lighter
and one tooth less
than when I came.
Looks like a trip to the dentist,
oh what a shame.

Lighter birds can Soar high, Heavier can only Run on Legs!
Life itself is that eternal bird,
building the nest of clay,
When safety becomes its priority,
Closes windows and doors,
Only to feel itself in darkness,
depriving itself of fresh air!
Smaller and narrow will be its nest,
Where in, It can sing in darkness,
The song of its pain heard by no one!
Learning leads to plan its home,
With wider doors and windows,
Open to light and fresh air,
Its happy song liked by all,
Little heart full of love,
Wider than world as world feels,
Still the bird want more light,
Leaving the nest,
flying long and wide,
Wide will be its vission,
Wide will be space its eyes can see,
Great view of world makes it happy,
Only happy bird can sing melody,
The eternal tune of wisdom,
evergreen song that every life wants to sing!
Deep into space it can see,
Vision beyond galaxies,
nay, vission beyond narrow boundaries of human heart,
The bird's eye surely full of visions,
Free of views and thoughts,
heart has only one religion,
'soar as high as possible,
Less weight of sorrows,
less light of opinions,
Higher it can soar, ,
With lighter and efficient heart,
lighter, yet efficient
Heart,
Embedded in Lighter skeleton,
Less weight of head,
Strong heart make the flight easy,
Heavier the skeleton,
Inefficient heart,
Can only make the bird flightless,
It can only run on legs away from truth,
Never can fly, how can it soar high?

AN overblown Overblown balloon
desires
are blown
into being
like balloons
the dinosaurs....
are taken over
by lighter creatures
lighter desires
goodwill
seems to be
getting firmer
footing too
soon desires
would burst into
nothingness
leaving merely
a bang for memory

Upheavel Of The Heart
the lighter
softer things occupy
their own places
the veil of orange silk
above the black long hair
concealing
the face where the
softest of all lips
hide
the air occupies all
the space
of this empty heart
always longing for what i love
years ago,
years back and yet
cannot be touched not even in
those tender hands
of my own dreams

In High Places
Look down from in high places
Lift off the ground
Without a sound yeah
We move through open spaces
The wind it pulls
The sky gets close yeah
Could we get much higher?
Could we get much lighter?
Navigator to heaven.
Check out did you check your heart?
This cloudless blue
This starlight night yeah
Shoot out into the shining
That devil moon
He sings of love yeah
Could we get much higher?
Could we get much lighter?
Navigator to heaven.
The stars so close we touch them
They seem so small
They make me wonder
Far out in formation
Five thousand moons
Floating balloons
Could we get much higher?
Could we get much lighter?
Navigator to heaven.

Burden On The Shoulders
as the weight of the burden
on the shoulders increases
one develops a trend
an evolution comes
saving you from ruin
now on stronger arms
and bigger bones
the weight becomes lighter
for this is what life is all about
the more burdens there are
the stronger we become
with more rain
the thirst of the earth too deepens
in automation
the balance seeks its own scale

Lighter Shade Of Blue
(troy seals, max d. barnes, skip ewing)
I guess it finally dawned on me youre gone
Well maybe I can make it on my own
I dont stay up wonderin if youll call
And some nights I dont dream of you at all
Your memorys still hurtin deep inside
Thats something Im still learnin how to hide
Though this heart of mine has lost an ache or two
Ive only turned a lighter shade of blue
Chorus:
Lookin/ down the line sometimes
I think I see a change
But then I think again and think of you
Here and there Ive turned a stone
But the mountain hasnt moved
Ive only turned a lighter shade of blue
Im still afraid of turning out the light
And it takes all my strength to face the night
Cause thats the time I face the bitter truth
Ive only turned a lighter shade of blue
Repeat chorus:

I'm known as a kind of dramatic, serious, almost humorless actor and the fact is, I'm a funny guy, and I spend most of my life trying to find a lighter side of things, and on stage was given plenty of opportunity to do that.
