Upward to Imagination

With some help from the sword
of young David, the head of
Goliath prepares to surrender
to the force of gravity
(as painted by Michelangelo on the ceiling
of the Sistine Chapel, Vatican City):


We like stories that have suspense.
Such stories keep us suspended,
up in the air, eager to hear more.
Such stories free us
from gravity,
allowing us to float
up into the realm
of the imagination,
where all things
are possible,
up there
in the
air.
