Folajin Ademola Poet Rhyme

A Life Or Two

If I had a life or two
To glide in the autumn sky,
I would choose to see the view
Of earth from a height so high;
And there in the skies with wings
Flying at the highest height,
I would taste the joy it brings
To view the world at bird's sight.

Then to the moon I would go
To behold its pretty smiles,
Savouring its beauteous glow
From less than a thousand miles.
Yet from there the sun I'd look,
Fearing to near its surface—
But just like an opened book
I would skim through at a pace.

Then straight to the galaxies
Where clusters of stars reside,
I would glide with youthful ease
Like a sea with gentle tide;
And there with a tearful glee
As some new radiance are born,
I'd stare at such starry sea
Revolving round the great sun!

If I had a life or two
To glide in the autumn sky,
I would choose to see the view
Of earth from a height so high;
Yet endless would be my trip
If I had ten thousand lives,
For round and round the deep
There's no end to the universe.
