Journey Through The Hydrosphere
Suddenly senses appear—
To see, to feel, to hear.
Hurdling down with ferocity
Greater than light in velocity.
A sea of blue below
Down, more down I go.
Above, I realize
A vastness of clouds
Out of dropping I then land
With an echo of sound.
I sink into the depths of
Surrounding ocean
With flowing, graceful, winding motion.
My tear drop shaped self
Combines in great wealth
With others alike
Now together my newfound counterparts
And I float to even lower heights.
A volcanic roar erupts and a powerful rush
Makes our downward flow into
An upwards gush.
But then even more commanding force calls:
Into an aquatic path I abruptly fall.
Now separated from my newfound sisters
Less calm is this environment
Things more violent than they were.
It dawns that I’m cutting a river
Moving in a twisting quiver
Slowly my enclosing walls thin
The narrowed waterway slimmed
And I’m carried to a higher altitude.
Gaining fierce height,
I must gather fortitude.
Inching, inching, inching upward
I reach the summit of the mountain’s lakes.
And I transform to be lighter to take,
Up through the atmosphere
To float to heavenly clouds
And bright spheres.
