Reflections From Above
The clouds look like cotton balls,
Unspun cotton candy.
Oh! How I sing the song of sweet victory.
Horizon finds its resting place in the abyss
The distance creates a feeling of uncertainty
Why is the light so far away?
As the sun fades away into nothing fear emerges,
Yet I find comfort in this place between certainty and uncertainty
Strange I take full responsibility for a sudden emergence of excitement
She feels a warmth spreading throughout the miles of vessels in her heart
An occurrence that rarely makes itself known-like a shy child choosing a parent for protection from the horrors of the outside world
I think this aerial view of the world puts me on top because I cannot see what everyone else is seeing
everything below;
Such a general term… everything
I think it is safe to say that up here I have finally escaped
I do not have any feelings of angst or worry
No one to insult my sensitive interior by way of my physical appearance and flaws
It could be that I am closer to God as cliche as that may sound
She has not seen him since he whispered to her the devil of anxiety would consume her soon if the angles were not called upon
All I can see is a sea of blackness with one yellow light illuminating from the ground
That light is me
Kindness and heart lies in that light
Light of mine
Will only flicker in times of despair only until I see him again
