Stepping off the planet.

THERE WERE TIMES WHEN HE FULLY EXPECTED

THAT GRAVITY MUST RELEASE ITS HOLD ON HIM

AND THAT HE WOULD STEP OFF THE PLANET.

NO MAN, NO MAN HE'D EVER MET HAD EXPERIENCED

SUCH JOY, SUCH GLADNESS, SUCH ALL ENCOMPASSING BLISS.

HOW? WHY HIM? IF ASKED HE WOULD SAY HE DIDN'T KNOW.

HE WOULD DECLARE HE WAS NOT DESERVING OF SUCH JOY

SUCH EXPERIENCES HAD NOT BEEN HIS YOUTHFUL DESIRE

THOUGH HE KNEW MANY WHO WOULD HAVE DESIRED

IF THEIR IMAGINATION WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEM REIN.

HE WAS HEARD TO SAY THAT IF THE RICHEST MAN ALIVE

COULD PUT HIMSELF IN HIS SHOES FOR ONE MINUTE

TO KNOW WHAT HE KNEW AND EXPERIENCE HOW HE FELT

THE RICH MAN WOULD OFFER ALL HE POSSESSED TO KEEP THE SHOES

THE MAN WOULD REFUSE AND TAKE BACK HIS SHOES.

 HE MARCHES TO A DIFFERENT TUNE, HE WALKS AT A DIFFERENT PACE,

 MAYBE ONE DAY HE WILL STEP OFF THE PLANET.
