Momentum

A push off

a cliff, doesn't mean you'll fly. 

To slide off

a hill, doesn't mean you'll sled

And certainly don't expect a rainbow

whenever there's some rain 

But you can still pretend 

Falling can be flying

sliding can be sledding 

a drizzle can be kaleidoscopic

So when I see fireworks 

that don't mean there's a BBQ 

But I can still buy a hot dog

And when you see cascades 

that doesn't make that place idyllic 

But I'll still write a poem about it 

When we see a sunset

that doesn't make that day perfect 

But we'll still call it that 

And eventually, perhaps 

we will fly 

we will sled

we will see a rainbow 

Eventually, we will be full

And nature's beauty will be revealed. 

Perfection aside, this is the best ride I've ever ridden.
