David Pekrul Poet Sonnet

To Touch the Sky

I stood upon a hill and watched the sun,
It shone much brighter than it did before,
And as I watched, I knew that we were one,
And many galaxies I would explore.
To fly above the clouds and touch the sky,
The silent earth so far beneath my feet,
To wander space, and gravity defy,
This feel of freedom really would be sweet.
Exploring places yet unknown to man,
The innocence of planets never seen,
Of mountains never climbed, nor oceans swam,
A universe where no one's ever been.
And as I stood in awe and watched the sky,
I knew that someday yonder I would fly.

Charlie Smith March 20, 2017 at 9:55 PM I'm in David, where do I sign up.let's go... David Pekrul March 20, 2017 at 9:58 PM I don't think they would take me Charlie. I'm a senior and out of shape. I think I'll stick to writing. :)
