You are the wind
beneath my feet
lifting me from the ground
just high enough to taste
exhilaration

You fill up my heart
right when it’s about to choke
on the fumes
that have sustained it
for too long

You are not absolute
You make no promises
But you breathe potential
from every mouth of your
existence

Raise me up from
the depths of this darkness
I know you are the wind
beneath my feet
You have proven that

So lift me higher
