Poem
On my walk the other morning…the moon wasn’t quite full yet… and I was lucky enough to see her about an hour before she set. A cloud formation…one I hadn’t seen before…appeared before my eyes. Layers that started on the ground and rose like a stairway to the sky. I’ve always wanted to visit places…like Jupiter, Venus and Mars so I altered my morning walk and climbed that stairway to the stars. Each step was wonderful…(I’m glad I took the stairs…not an Uber or a cab!) because it allowed me to interact with a lion, a bull a rabbit and a crab. I visited with the crab for a while…surprisingly he had a lot to say… The rabbit, lion and bull were in a hurry because Orion was heading their way. I met Orion on the next step…he stopped and gave me a thorough inspection… And when he asked if I’d seen the rabbit, lion or the bull…being a vegetarian… I pointed him in the wrong direction. I met Orion’s dog, Sirius, he was big…but I had nothing to fear… because Sirius, like most dogs, loved being scratched behind his ears. I met Casper and Pollux, the Gemini twins…their story captured my heart… and even as close as I was to them…I had difficulty telling them apart. After visiting Cassiopeia, Vegas, and spending time in the little dipper as across the heavens I roamed… I realized it was probably time…for me to head back home. As I started down the stairway…to the very spot where this entire adventure began The clouds said, “Wait a minute…we have another plan.” They gave me two options…I could float back down on a cloud she’d be a safe and steady guide… or just as they formed a stairway…the clouds could create a slide. I’m happy with the choice I made…and just for arguments sake I’m curious to know…which option would you take?
