Walking On Stars

Walking on sunlight, spongy and soft like the grass 
sauntering on the moon, blue cushioned bounces of joy 
stepping on stars, silver bursts of happiness all around 

flying with eagles, notorious wings of power and thrust 
climbing an oak, filaments of wood on your tongue 
entering soil, we feel like we are mulched like flowers 


if paper airplanes float on water as well as sail ships 
then why do we need a solid stern 
take the slow ride home and loose your earth power 

it will surprise you what is real and what is not 
you will find that what is not is actually there 
and what is real, can always be forgot...
