In the Sky

some may say,
"don't fly too high."
mocking quite safely
the fool in the sky.

who surfs a far, from star to star.
ignoring cackled cries,
"YOU DON'T know where you are!"

and yes it's true .... the fool might say
that this is not the same
as the gravity soil dirt,
shame and dismay

and i would say, my weary reader
be keen to watch your chide.
'cause this message 'bout my friend
allows me to confide.

for what you measure as a fool
seeks only to be true.
that you may find the light and dark
and know the world anew.
