Having a ball

We are all in this together,
afloat in this liquid sky,
waiting for the journey that comes next.

Yes,
some of us lean left,
and some of us lean right;
there are one or two straight arrows in the bunch,
and others who will always serve as obstacles,
keeping us from imagined freedoms,
the freedom those birds
who rest on us between flights of fancy
now take for granted,
But now is not a time we get to fly.

Now we are suspended,
waiting.
And as long as you are with us,
we'll be sure to have a Ball!
