Ethereal Rafting Upon the Solar Sphere

"Ethereal Rafting Upon the Solar Sphere" There's something in that phrase that I find somewhat dear It speaks about a effort that is yet to come An album instrumental, it is not quite yet done I wish that I could find the right notes to play I wish that I had resources to go all the way A trip around the Sun I do every year But a trip to the Sun is something that I fear And on a raft? I should think not, it makes no sense at all Just floating on a river ray, seems to be a long haul And wouldn't I just burn right up, the heat is too intense? "Just go at night" the madman says. He doesn't make much sense! And what about "Ethereal?" What does that even mean? Is that a solid, liquid, gas, perhaps like ethylene? Impalpable, intangible, perhaps something like air I think that I could not embark, as there's no air up there My quest of flying to the Sun, it's blocked at every turn And then to soar around its sphere, I fear that I'd be burned I best be getting back to think on how to make that tune A lyric fit for random words, I think it's much too soon.
