Nine Cent Solution

20 Purple Rocks

Nine Cent Solution


Standing on a hill beside a tree. 
A rope hangs from it calling out to me. 
Take a look around you as you start to spin. 
Starting slowly round & round the limbs. 
Feeling light as air over the countryside. 
Looking down the river becomes the tide. 
Over mountains into thinning air, escape velocity, 
do I dare?
From up above it's all the same. 
Specks of dust in natures way. 
Heading through the atmosphere 
I begin to see things clear. 
Past the moon, the planets & on by the sun. 
Through the Milky way & far beyond. 
Worlds of wonder not to be ignored. 
If we're the only ones here, I see them coming.
