Gravity

If I could unravel the tether tying me to gravity

Would I arise to float away over a boundless sea?

Glide next to an eagle as it circles its prey

Bounce off a whale surfaced to spray

Mayhap float over forested canopy of green

Spy on lion stalking elk, crouched there unseen

Grab ahold of a rainbow, slide all the way down

Search for gold whence it decorates the ground

Cumulous or stratus, I’d float with the clouds

Dance with lightning where they gather in crowds

Allow a Westerly Wind to escort me to the horizon

Chase Easterly sunbeams, see where they’re risin’

See the globe: Europe, Australia, Africa, Japan

Espy wondrous sights world over in nary a span

Rhapsodize sweet to elephants, kangaroos and pandas

Amazed at the marvels the world does hand us

Old Faithful’s timely erupting of a geyser of silver

Hanging Gardens of Babylon, snip just a sliver

I could fly to London Bridge, partake of pea soup

Dash to the moon for cheese in a scoop

Rinse my hands in a Sea of Tranquility

These and many other ideas entrance me

Slingshot the moon to visit red planet Mars

Set sights on Andromeda, voyage to the stars

Stop off at the Big Dipper for something to drink

Perch on Saturn’s rings whilst ponder and think

Yes, the things I could do if gravity’s tether I could slice

To explore the world and stars tis a dream rather nice

…

But no matter where in the galaxy my mind does float

No matter which of the seven wonders I roam

Nothing else for me wears love like a comfy old coat

So, in the end I’d surely float right back home
