So high in the sky we fly
Uplifted into an infinite peace
Worrisome thoughts cease to bother
Up here the calm is soothing
Free of the grime and crime below
So high so endless
Rejuvenating to the soul
My thoughts travel here often
When life has me down and out
When the world threatens a drought and I thirst for life
I think of those clear blue skies
The wind taking my breath of despair
Replacing it with cool and crisp motivation
Up here the problems don’t press down on me
I stand up proud and strong looking down from my cloud of strength
Looking down on those endless memories
My mind is clear but alert
Time moves on
I push on
Endlessly
