Bounce
I awoke one day,
high in spirit,
with a bounce in my step.
I flew above the clouds,
above the sky,
bouncing throughout the abyss.
But as time dragged me through
this eternal eternity,
my bounce faltered, and I began to sink.
No longer could I touch the sky and stars,
instead settling for the feeling
of grainy dirt and hard wood planks
that encompassed my body,
a body that could bounce
no more.
