Grandness of size
Heart overflowing
Dreams of the moon
And the stars
Infinite calculations
Of future possibilities
Held in place by tradition
Fighting through gravity
Trying to break free
While falling apart
Looking back at your world
So small from a distance
Pulling at you still
Afraid to let go
As you explore
Endless opportunities
Hoping to return
To return the a welcome embrace
No worse for wear
I guess growing up is
Rocket science.
Such is life of growing up and discovering oneself and exploring space and time crossing paths..
ReplyDeleteSo very true. I was thinking about all of the starry-eyed dreams parents have for their kids, and then suddenly the kids take over, forging their own path, yet hoping we'll be there to catch them if they fall.
