Fly

Standing on the edge
With my arms wide open
Feeling the cold wind
Stinging my face
With eyes closed and darkness all around
And then I felt a sudden glow
Opened my eyes and saw
Sun had risen in all it's golden glory.
Experienced the warmth of first rays
Rays of hope maybe
And then I realized
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.........
 
Jumped off the edge
And began to fly............

The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.
