Analysis of Blast Off Rockets Roaring
Blast Off Rockets Roaring
Dappling lights decorate my celestial sky
After the dark night of despair
Shadowed moments with dread
Confining me on the cosmic shore
I am learning to swim
Instead of drowning
Walking instead of crawling
Getting up instead of quitting
The ocean of life beckons me
And my heart unfurls its sails.
Spontaneous steps erupt so effervescent
As the wellspring of hope
Comes to life and overflows
It happens because my eyes open
Looking upwards and forward
From the cave to the sky
New worlds open up and appear
Ready to explore I come out
Leaping toward the future
I blast off rockets roaring!
