On Fancy's Wings

I want to shed my earthly existence
Like the sloughed skin of a snake
To rise high and still higher
To levitate in ether, to feel weightless
To sail beyond sunset, to fly far, far away
To soar into the seamless skies
To float amid twinkling stars
To collide against constellations
To tour round on a magic carpet
And dive into the oceanic depths of space
There I would build a palace
Amid the clouds to dream in peace
With none to distract or extract
No laws of gravity should pull me down
Let me rest awhile in that magic kingdom
Not for ever, but for a little while
To look down from that cosmic arena
And pity upon the poor earthlings
Who never realize how insignificant they are
Stuck in a blue luminous speck
Amid the vast enveloping cosmic dark
And keep sucking their habitation dry!
With all such ignorance shed
With new knowledge garnered
Petty strife set aside, in greater humility
Finally to descend down a better being!
