The Universe

Posted by Jade on

I do not want to hold still on a spinning sphere.

I shall spin with it.

If you attempt to hold me back;

You will only see the wonder.

The wonder of dancing in the midst of freedom.

Imagining for only even a moment.

To hold the stars in your palm.

To listen to the sun, sing your name.

To see the clouds, create a canvas.

To wake in a field of daydreams.

I will not let anyone hold my leash.

For I have fallen off the edge.

Into the endless infinity.

I shall never hold still.

I shall spin with it.

I am free. I will be heard by the universe.

    Haha, I am flattered. Thanks for making my day. I’m so happy you enjoyed it.

    Love that! When two poetic forms come together, such as music and words. I often get through writer block that way.
    Thanks, Jojo. 🌻
