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.
