the view from here
would take your breath away
your thoughts escape you
there's nothing left to say
patiently drifting,
far up and above
it's so easy
to fall in love
in love with the clouds
& the taste of the rain
where worries fade
and there is no pain
you see the world
in a different light
and suddenly realize
your life is alright
life is beautiful
when you see it from here
but you have to choose
to see beauty my dear
blow a kiss to the stars
& say goodnight to the moon
because we can't live forever
in this hot air balloon

There’s something in the silence, but it’s never been quite clear
Is it comforting or deafening, or music to my ear?
I find it in the quiet, it comes from deep within
It tells me where I’m going, and shows me where I’ve been
I don’t need an ear to listen, or someone’s hand to hold
Because my thoughts are loud and clear, underlined and bold
I listen to the echoes, but I cannot hear the screams
Of all the thoughts inside, and reoccurring dreams
Like a bullet searching for it’s target, I am looking for mine
Silence brings motionless and the planets misalign
I’m looking for that defining moment, when my world stands still
I don’t want all the answers, because searching holds the thrill
I want to be like the rhythm, to my favorite song,
Meaning I am sensible, and that I belong
But aside from the song, I find great value in the silence
Because for a few moments, it ceases all the violence
I don’t mean world wars, I’m talking about battles inside
I guess I’m saying at times, I’m conflicted on this ride
Sometimes life can be raging, like a heart attack,
But in silence, I find, that all fades to black
It’s a ride I can’t get off of, and nor would I try
Because that would be like gravity, which I cannot defy
So when my thoughts are spinning, like electric ballet dancers
I turn to silence, because it holds all the hidden answers

I watch it fall like rain, or vanish like the horizon
but it has an infallible tendency to rise like the sun
and so I am not aghast, because I have expectations
I know that as the clock ticks life away, it will return
It feeds each heart’s desire, like water in a drought
And time and again renews what has been lost
It fixes, effortlessly, all who were seemingly broken
It is found through the slightest bit of inspiration
And illuminates like a buoy in the ocean, at night
It is forever absolute in those willing to search for it
Everyone needs a little hope sometimes

The view from here is quite breathtaking
but suddenly I feel myself falling
I am drifting as the world passes me by
but where am I going?
Just as I start to enjoy it,
there is a violent halt in my journey
I lay in a sea of individuals who look nothing like me
but it’s nice not to be alone
I am content
Just as I gain my composure, I am swept away again
Now I am moving faster than ever before
It is not too long before I plummet to the ground
Again, I am united with others
suddenly it feels like I am being stampeded
The pain fades, I hear laughter, and I am thrown in the air
a gust of wind sends me back on my journey
but I stop worrying and enjoy the ride
I may just be a leaf
But I am beautiful
