I Fell Into the Sky

I fell into the sky one day; I don't recall exactly how. I wish that I could show you, but the window isn't there right now. It snatched me right outside our door with nothing but a tender breeze. I tumbled from the puddled ground and landed safely on my knees. You won't believe the things I saw; this journey wasn't just some game. The world beyond our cotton sea is similar, if not the same. The trees are tall; their leaves are green. The sun is bright and hot like steam. The sky above looks just like ours. It all seemed so much like a dream. I hope that sidewalk pool comes back; you won't believe me till you see. If such a place does not exist, then who was staring back at me?
