| The Juggler |
Page created 6/19/09
I stood on the top It could have been a mountain But it was not, it was just the top Space was all about me Above me and below me Space, stars and planets Things in motion, nothing stagnant I grabbed a large orb by the tail A comet it was of ice and hail I grabbed planets and moons And reached higher, needed more room I started to juggle with wild delight Quickly I added some stars To give the heavens some light An interesting game played in the dark of space Juggling the stars and planets across the heavens Confused motions caused by sucking black holes A celestial juggling game, my moves so bold No one even knowing my name No one even watching the game I let them all fall through the vast space Two black holes collapsed into each other Boooooom, A new galaxy swirled in place The moons took up orbits, planets found suns A small dim yellow star far from the center I wished life to be, a place for life to enter Life to flourish in the tiny planetary splinter A comet swung around in a floppy orbit off center I should visit the planet, but not today, I’ll wonder off searching for a game to play A difficult game, I’ll forget even my name. I’ll pretend to be a human, a body with no name Pretend I’m not the juggler and not knowing That should be interesting not knowing I wonder if there are more jugglers pretending I glanced about. Other artists were here! Their true abilities unknown, nothing was clear If I could remember far back to that day If I could only remember how we got this way I could turn to tossing stars in play Lighting the heavens, a big game to play Some day! But what am I thinking. I’m but a body, my space is still shrinking Seventy trips around the sun and I’m done No wait! I start to remember! The ground begins to tremble Planets and stars start flying about I’m the juggler, now I remember No piece of meat do I resemble My universe all over the place A marvelous game standing on the top As far as I can see, lots of space Suns are in place, nothing I want to stop Life is flourishing all over the place Your Feedback would be appreciated! |
