If the world was upside-down
the skyline wouldn't be so liberating
and the horizon wouldn't be so intimidating.
If we had heads below our knees
and feet above our elbows
we could walk to infinity
toward the skylines
and watch the birds in flight
rising ever upward towards the horizon.
If the earth were like the sky,
and the sky were like the earth,
the eagles would be faster,
following to the skyline,
than cheetahs on the ground,
soaring to the horizon.
Author notes
I like this idea but feel like I need to be more specific!
