Rocket Ships in Flight

 

I wanna live life and never be cruel

fly like geese or airplanes

but with no repetitive migration or pattern.

I wanna live life on my own terms

have friends and loved ones around.

We never changed

 we never learned to love

so I don't wanna live in a wooden house anymore.

I wanna ride in a spaceship for now,

cause making friends isn't easy

and I don't have a choice

there are no other options before me.

 

I wanna be launched into space

like a rock in a sling shot pretending

to mimic the speed of a rocket ship in flight.

I wanna mission like an astronaut

so high but grounded

consisting of nothing but positive affirmations

and moral values that are important to

this world that we live in.

 

I wanna ground zero beneath my feet

a place to call my own and create space any way I see fit.

I wanna sail on a ship that's sturdy and bold

miles away from wooden houses and spaceships

one that never docks redundant places

and consists only of endless love and friendships.

 

So when the angels camp outside the city lines

and I'm offered another opportunity to shine,

I hope that I've changed enough of my leaves

I can bestow the highs of flight to the Astronaut.

I wanna be the rock grounded before the slingshot.

Good write... We all dream of fnding that one of a kind world and being the best. At some point swear we can fly to the moon if given a chance. I believe we can do it by surrounding ourselves with people who think like us and appreciate who we are. Loved it.

Such beautiful wisdom and light packaged in poetic form—bravo!

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
