I’m flying; I’m flying so high.
I rise without the slightest care
And feel that I could touch the sky.
I look down at the Earth, so rare –
Perhaps unique – yet compromised
By our neglect and non-respect
Of sacred duty to protect
The wonders nature has devised.
Thank you for the comments, Tom and John. I tried to make the first few lines reflect the sense of freedom which would come from flying above the Earth, while the second part expresses, as you say John, concern about the state of the planet. So both your comments were very much to the point (grateful for the humour, Tom).
And thanks to Rudyard, Holden, Brenda, KJ and Nigel for the likes.
I sense some foreboding also, Stephen. We're not looking after what we've been given.
Very uplifting Stephen. 😁👍

We’re behaving like irresponsible tenants. Unfortunately, we won’t get another property.
