Sometimes you have to think higher, aim higher,
Be braver - separate yourself from the muck and
Mire of the here and now.
We can get caught up, twisted, dragged down without
Hope. that’s when we just need to look up - to
Fantasize about what could be. It’s all in the thinking
That’s where it starts, high above, where the air is thin,
Where you’re lifted up to new heights…….
They went to the moon!!!
A place that we only read about. How lofty is that?
To experience something almost unimaginable.
Something other than the gravity-pulling strongholds
Of gloom and despair, of death and dying
Of homelessness and wars, of cruelty and hate
To be able to go to a place of nothingness and
Weightlessness where thoughts are free to roam and
Play, a place to explore, where feelings are new and cherished,
a language all of its own
That place of solace, of beautiful weightless silence.
They went to the moon!!!!
I say, gather up all you can, let it roam around inside/outside
Of you, see all you can see and then brace yourself
As you let gravity pull
You back down to start anew - a new life - a place
Where heaven and earth meet and marry on moon beams
Laced with sunshine.
Congratulations to Artemis II - mission accomplished!
