Defying Gravity

It happens when birds sing hope,
And caterpillars fly.
When aunts gleefully dance,
White fluff patch the sky.
Then, when pebbles support,
And flowers bloom,
When children skip,
New life exists womb.
When waves lick the sore,
When seagulls find their pray.
When touched by the finish line,
And dawn brings day.
When dreams don't end when awoke,
And smiles don't fade.
When wind shouts freedom,
And the sound of happiness is played;

I know I could defy gravity.
