Close Enough

Closer to the clouds Soaring through the soft misty flocks of vapour Higher Touching the overstretched never ending horizons Stronger Closer to the clouds Reaching for the elusive galaxy scattered with stars Wiser. Metempirical Scenes Outside my window, birds perched on window panes Breathing the hopes of life Burying their worries, letting them go Soaring away the pains of yesterday Home The distance reassures me of the longer road I have Waiting working of what might come Relieving the old alleys Streets that left me hanging, roaming Stranded with loneliness Pause Break from the fast pace of life Dive into total surrender Break from our shallow life filled with plans The never ending ambitious dreams Capturing each moment, not giving any a miss Forgotten The small sentiments The simple notions The innocent thoughts And the crazy bedlams Unfortunate Life Thrive, we will.
