Flying with Red Sneakers on - A Poem

Walking along the beach with red sneakers on
Looking for driftwood - smooth and satiny
and the forgotten shell perhaps
Maybe these will fly?

Walking along my mind wearing purple tights
Hoping to catch wind of something blowing
You don’t know what the air will bring
To you if you wait for it

So when the air blows and you find smooth wood
How do you know this will fly?
Or is it just a matter of time and matter
It won’t matter if you don’t make time

So blowing along on the air of time
I hope to matter somewhat if not a little
But matter can hurt if you aren’t careful
And stub your toe on a wayward shell

The shell that surrounds the air
That doesn’t matter with the...
or would it matter, smooth and shiny
Only if it can fly.

A casual walk wearing red sneakers with white rubber tips
Avoiding the shells and looking for driftwood
Maybe it’s time to investigate a shell
That surrounds the air that matters?

Something for us to think about.
