Cloud Nine

Here, to my right on cloud nine, 
sits God, finding my match.
He's back down on two.
I take the stairs, the elevator's full. 

Back on two, we reconcile,
thinking back to long conversations
of us, and you, and our future as one.

I had so much love to give,
but it seems I never had enough.

I'd tell you how much I love you,
but I can only write it.

So I'll put you next to God,
on cloud nine.
I'll take my place, besides you,
and inhale your scent.
Back on cloud nine,
I am free again.

cloud nine is fine if you are inclined to reach the sublime....but the 2nd floor could mean more if you open the heart's door for what's in store....but all you truly need for your heart to feel freed is to proceed in the steps of Love indeed....because when that is done, you will only see fun underneath the sun assuring you that you have won....Beautiful write Elizabeth....;)
