Earth's Embrace.

I stopped holding gravity

and it said goodbye to me.

I kissed air a final fair well

and it left my lungs.

I spent one last evening on earth

and we shared a bottle of wine.

Then the sun waved to me

and I soared towards it.

The stars giggled at me

and I smiled right back.

The moon sighed at my freedom

and I shrugged an apology.

The universe nodded its approval

and I thanked it quite earnestly.

But winter reminded me of snow

and I stopped flying so fast

And spring reminded me of rain

and I slowed even more

And music reminded me of happiness

and I held still

And paper reminded me of art

and I drifted ever so slowly backwards

And clothes reminded me of comfort

and I started falling

And people reminded me of life

and I plummeted

And before I knew it

I was laying on grass

What a way to fly from the earth

What a way to fall into its embrace
