Imagine if one day Gravity just gave way It all began to float Loosened from the floor And as you begin your gentle rise As if being pulled by the sky What would you think about? Would feelings within you be aroused? Would you think of the young? As they float up to their demise Would you be glad their innocence was left alone? Or saddened that their deeds will forever be undone? Would you think of the old? As they hasten their death Would you be glad their suffering is at an end? Or saddened of the mistakes they could not yet mend What of lovers, is there a thought? To a swift end comes their love To feel their embrace nevermore Or in eternity each other adore. Families, friends and co-workers? Officers, bankers and robbers? Priest, sinners and saints? Me, you and them? All floating softly to death So many stories That came to an end But what about you? Would you spare you a thought? Reminsce or curse it all? Would any regret cross your mind Or maybe memories would warm your heart Projects left unfinished And dreams so long without visit For this reasons and more we musn´t dally So do away with lists projects and tallies Life is too short to spend thinking We must think less And open up to feeling For we are not machine but human And humans die So go out there and live Before you are claimed by the sky

A hop and a skip and you ́re gone
Imagine if one day Gravity just gave way It all began to float Loosened from the floor And as you begin your gentle rise As if being pulled by the sky What would you think about? Would feelings within you be aroused? Would you think of the young? As they float up to their demise Would you be glad their innocence was left alone? Or saddened that their deeds will forever be undone? Would you think of the old? As they hasten their death Would you be glad their suffering is at an end? Or saddened of the mistakes they could not yet mend What of lovers, is there a thought? To a swift end comes their love To feel their embrace nevermore Or in eternity each other adore. Families, friends and co-workers? Officers, bankers and robbers? Priest, sinners and saints? Me, you and them? All floating softly to death So many stories That came to an end But what about you?

The stanzas in this one are kinda weird but I like how it ended up. Funny story about this one, I was in the bus and today was a real hard day at work, my head was in auto-pilot. So I get to my stop and ususally I do a little hop of the last step of the bus, and as I land on the floor I began wondering to myself "What if I didn´t land? What if one day I jump and I just float away, and everything else just, floats into the sky?" One thing lead to another and a new poem was made, that as always, I hope you boys and girls and whatever is in between enjoy.
