I’m in touch with reality
Very very lightly
An astronaut outside the ship
I have to grip tightly
Panoramic perspective, awe
Some astronomic trip
‘Come in Space Cadet’
Mind you don’t slip
My tendonous tether
Could sever forever easily
I’d lose myself in headspace
Over all the world’s gravity
From the womb of the universe
I see the earth receding
All there is is
God
and the sound of me breathing
