Fly Up and Glide
A risk taker is an adventurer, a taster of the fresh dew;
never satisfied until he has found that something so new.
Celestial bodies are clearly seen on a starless and mild night,
when the grayish sky invites a painter to invent his own light.
So fly up and glide over your extraordinary planet, and finally discover
what poets and dreamers only imagine to exist in their passionate gesture.
The unmitigated impudence of this season has already brought its first, despised pang;
changing emerald leaves to dull auburn, reminding me of the briefness of life's span.
Can't find any excitement in the boring ways that spoil your day and make you sluggish?
Try flying up and glide over this planet's panorama that can grant the spectator's wish.
Earth-bound with that satiated feeling, departing from a glorious view and a gibbous moon;
glad to land on a snowless ground, too anxious to send up, on drifting winds, my red balloon.
