"Looking down from ethereal skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all must say their last goodbye -
to Paradise..."
- Paradise Lost by Symphony X
Head buried
in pillows in the sky,
voraciously consuming
the fluffy whites.
Windy fingers
sieve the air.
Watchful eyes
tracing tails of kites.
He only hears
the faint hymns
from the outstretched wings
of feathered birds.
Leans back weightily
on his throne of clouds.
Notions form haphazard
in so many words.
Casting his gaze,
willing it earth-bound.
Careless trees sway
in synchronised tandem.
Diverse songs merge
seamless in harmony.
Singing in unison,
revelling the gift of freedom.
Silent tears fall
and trickle as rain...
As he reminisces
the images of his forsaken past.
Scored paintings
of a paradise lost.
All must say
their final goodbyes...
He will bid his,
last.

Current earworm. I feel this song.
