I buckled in absolute disbelief
the view was like that of nothing
I had ever witnessed before
spectacular!
why, I felt as if I was standing agape
in the night's very own sky
lost in twilight forever more
but not knowing quite yet why
only longing all the more for another try
or at least an extension to the fading
future's offered tour
I then calmly left the spot of my rooted soul
without even the bat of a tearless eye
while shaken completely from shoe to core
wishing, if only now I could fly
I'd leave this lonesome earth and its choking
dust and to the stars I would spiral as I soar
yelling to all who care to gaze up at me
GOODBYE!!!!!!!
alas, my friends, there is something more........
