'There's No Place Like Home'
February 10, 2009
'There's No Place Like Home'
Swimming in a lagoon of stars
I paddled past patches of clouds
I hopped on a comet and rode it into space
Jupiter invited me to a tea party
Which I gratefully accepted
And I sipped rays of sun
I gazed down at my home
Freckles of land dotted over blue
I stuck my finger out to cover it
Squinted one eye
And stuck my tongue out to the side
My home disappeared
The lights flickered off and all turned black
Stars! Stars! Go back on!
I moved my finger to the right
And found I had returned back
