Dosing off into sober clouds
I am flying,
                            Where am I now?
So close I could taste the blue sky like water
Swimming below the sun
                                                       I do not burn
The soft voice of the wind singing against cold skin
Softly darting through my finger tips again and again
                                                                                 Yet i do not fall
  Trusting the Earth to hold me up
Push me into the heavens
As my memories fall behind me
I lose myself completely
Every Love I ever had
Every time I was ever sad
Every smile that fell on my face
Every person in my heart, and their place
My soul it flies away
But my body here will stay
My wings no longer beating
Keeping my eyes open, depleting
Hold that breath before death blows it away
Into the sunset as I cherish this day
Hold my memory to your heart
Keep the pieces of me a whole part
Goodnight Earth
I love you all for what it's worth
Let the sun soak me in
And let the new day begin
