Orbit
In this infinite universe,
Where there is no oxygen
To fill your lungs as
You gasp for relief,
Breathe in the stars
And exhale wishes that
Fall like teardrops
Through the sky.
In this unexplored galaxy,
Where they say no humans
Can reach,
Discover new wonders
That not even a child’s
Mind could think of;
Walk on asteroid belts and
Leave your footprint on a
Comet.
In this familiar solar system,
Where Pluto has been excluded
Among the other planets,
Sit on Saturn’s rings and
Do cartwheels on Venus,
Singing to the first star
You see.
On this small planet,
Where people shut you down,
Bask in the sun because you
Want to; admire dandelions
Because they are beautiful
Buds of fire, and above all:
Be the center of your
Own gravity.
