A dream to be everlasting
A love for the stars.
To be seen as spectacular
Above the ground,high and far.
So people may say
With awe and wonder,
A mortal and a mere man
Now resides above clouds and thunder.
Impatiently I search for a way
To be off this pulling earth.
To fly away into the ether,
Far from the cloying dearth.
No elegant fire balloons for me,
Too cumbrous, too slow.
I will plummet up like a rocket
As trumpets blare and bugles blow.
But only so far, only so far
Never to reach the stars.
Spectacular as the fireworks
And then as failed embers falling apart.

A dream to be everlasting
A love for the stars.
To be seen as spectacular
Above the ground,high and far.
So people may say
With awe and wonder,
A mortal and a mere man
Now resides above clouds and thunder.
Impatiently I search for a way
To be off this pulling earth.
To fly away into the ether,
Far from the cloying dearth.
No elegant fire balloons for me,
Too cumbrous, too slow.
I will plummet up like a rocket
As trumpets blare and bugles blow.
But only so far, only so far
Never to reach the stars.
Spectacular as the fireworks
And then as failed embers falling apart.
