Something, Somewhere

Some dare 
     the dark depths 
           of the sea or sky-jump 
                 into thinnest air


just for 
     the slightest sense
           of doing something, 
                of going somewhere.


Others climb
     peaks of the mind, 
           soaring away 
                 in a rocking chair!
