Sailing to the Edge

This day in 1991, the world came to know of Freddy Mercury’s passing.

He mirrored the man who encapsulated the Bohemian Rhapsody –

Galileo.

Unfettered, resolute.

With social pressure at its fiercest.

Both men saw round – when the World saw flat.

Sailed to the edge-

And coursed.

🌟🌌✨🌟🌌✨🌟

He saw round when all saw flat

And sailed to wonders all souls shunned;

Stood in awe when all else sat

To the edge he sailed- and won.

🌟🌌✨🌟🌌✨🌟

All souls slighted what he saw

Ridiculed, pressured, and entrapped –

The World laughed at mind’s open door

That put God’s Earth upon the map.

🌟🌌✨🌟🌌✨🌟

He fought the pull of man’s desire,

To common whim he did not bow;

Pushed the urge to set self on fire

For the truth, absolute now.

🌟🌌✨🌟🌌✨🌟

For the truth, he boldly stood

A silent, steady, gripping stance;

Stayed upright, for light he knew

Forged forth, knowing not the end.

🌟🌌✨🌟🌌✨🌟
