Ball-Ing Rhapsody

Bounce.Bounce.And again.
Dribble.Pass.Jump.
And that satisying swish.
Clawing through the court,
Escaping clasping hands,
Run, faster than the wind.
And then, you jump.
See the sun grinning at you,
Until you descend down to earth.
Sky is the limit.
But this game elucidates,
That it really isn't.
There's more to the world than that.
Something that only this game,
Could teach me.
