High Places

There are high places
Where greatness awaits
Those who brave the climb.
But the wise men say
It is braver by
Far to conquer the
High places inside.

rise with me forever,

let the stars be in awe of your madness.

in eastern sky
rises slow,

become a part.

Sputnik, my friend,
that’s what the boys called him,
always high, see? Back then

into clouds on high
then sets a course
for oceans wide.
It blows breath
into sails of ships
on seas
where albatrosses bide.

Climbed high
Reached for the sky
At the summit
Sensed I would plummet
Down the abyss
To splatter the surface
Quenching me
And my acrophobia

Get high?
Full strength larger chilled?
Or abstain till later
For a moment
of faster higher stronger?
